Ramblin' with AM: Kindness Month

Welcome! Join me daily as I blog about flowers, gardening, my photography adventures, life in upstate New York, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.Today, I received an email about December being a"Month of Kindness" I've seen various calendars now, with each day of December being devoted to an act of kindness."Fill out a survey at a store and complement an employee who was good to you".

In November of 2010, I also experienced a random act of kindness in a local store, this time by a customer Today, I wonder how the man in this story is doing. Is he better off? Despite what must have been hard times for him, he had such an upbeat attitude.I saw something inspiring, as we get closer to the Thanksgiving season, this afternoon.

When my son took German in school, his teacher came in one day with an Aldi ad from Germany. What a difference! Aldi in Germany is almost like a combination grocery/department store. But meanwhile, back in upstate NY... My spouse and I struck up a conversation with the man with the limp. He had some extra money because he had sold two cars at auction today. He had been up since 5 am. It was a good day for him, because he was able to buy another car to fix up and sell. Best of all, it was his birthday. He couldn't see why he should spend $30. at Texas Roadhouse [a steakhouse chain in the U.S.] when he could buy some frozen steaks and cook him at home .
