I was driving down a neighborhood road when I saw an elderly woman trying to bring her large garbage cans in from the street. I pulled over and helped her bring them in from the street. I’m sure she appreciated it, but I also had my teenage daughter with me, and I wanted to show her that we are not too busy, or too cool, to give someone a helping hand.

Smile and say hi to someone.

Traveling around Europe this Summer, my family and I experienced kindness (& patience) from the locals who were able to help us navigate the intricate public transportation system and travel from city to city!
