Kindness Ripples Outward

I saw a woman talking to my neighbor holding a bike while I was walking my cat (yes, on a leash attached to a harness). We talked for a while and I discovered she rides her bike because she has macular degeneration in one eye and can’t drive well. She sounded pretty hopeless…she had just been to her MD who saw only progressive blindness in her future. I told her about my dad who has used an FDA approved energy healing instrument, an accuscope, to massage around his eyes and stopped the progression of this condition for 8 years, much to his eye doctor’s amazement. I got my mom to send a copy of the manual and I have a contact who deals in selling these instruments. I’ll ask him where the nearest chiropractor is with one of these accuscopes. Somehow, we’ll get her to that person for a weekly treatment to help her eyes heal naturally.

A woman walked onto the bus just after her water bottle had broken in her purse. She didn’t have time to run home to fix things because she didn’t want to be late for work.

An older woman with a large purse pulled out some paper towels to help her, and then a cloth grocery bag to put her things in. And some plastic bags to keep what hadn’t gotten wet from getting wet. Every time the younger woman came across another problem caused by the water, the older woman had something that could help.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of this well-prepared lady, the younger woman got off the bus much happier than she’d been when she got on.

I’m not the most negative pessimistic person, but sometimes I really get to thinking- well, negatively.

This weekend while driving through a town about to start a parade I saw an elderly man trying to leave a driveway and a teenage girl walking down the sidewalk about to cross him when suddenly she stopped, started waving her arms and pointing at the ground.

I couldn’t figure out what in the world she was doing until the man started backing his car up. I looked down at the ground out my window and he had initially missed the actual driveway and would have rode right off the curb had she not pointed it out.

Nothing spectacular, worst case he would have messed up his alignment, but the fact that this girl would notice and then bother to point out this impending problem was, really kind of… nice.

I wanted to leave the Bay Area and go to my family’s home in Lake Tahoe, NV for a few days. I called a neighbor to ask about the snow levels in front of the house and learned that there was a two feet berm of snow and ice blocking the driveway. We never visit the house during the winter and have no snow removal equipment, so I asked another neighbor if I could melt it with hot water and shovel the snow.

To my pleasant surprise, he called back a few hours later, and said he took care of the berm and could come up to the house. When I saw him in front of the house, he said he had shoveled the snow, and I would have made a huge mess if I had used hot water on that berm.

Needless to say, it was indeed a blessing to have his assistance.
