I noticed recently that Acts of Kindness come up naturally in the course of conversation with friends. These little bright spots in our day are worth sharing with each other, and provide that little extra bit of inspiration to smile at the cashier after the long line at the grocery store, or graciously allow that person desperate to merge into your lane during rush hour.I started thinking about this when a friend told me about a young guy she knows who works a second job at Noah’s bagels that he really dislikes, where he sweeps the floors and cleans up after the patrons. However, he gets through it because he knows he can bag all the extra bagels at the end of each day for a homeless shelter down the road.What could be better motivation for getting through the day, especially at a job where I’m sure his patience is challenged a lot more frequently than his intellect. A great example to keep in mind when I think the only thing that can motivate me through the day is that third cup of coffee…
