Kindness That Warms The Heart

Today I received a surprise package in the mail from Rachel, a blogger friend that I had the pleasure to meet in person this past summer.    Oh if she could only see the ice forming in the very ocean that she and her husband went kayaking in while on their honeymoon here. 



When I saw her name on the return address of the parcel that was delivered to me today, it made me smile.  When I saw what was inside, it warmed my heart.  Because she knows I love sprinkles. 



And then to discover that she hand made something for me too.  I was so touched by that. 




Rachel's thoughtfulness came from her desire to participate in a Pay It Forward event.  A powerful gesture to inspire kindness to others. 



No matter how remote we may be from each other in distance, this world of blogging has a way of drawing us closer. 




  
Connecting us with people that we may have never known,




oftentimes inexplicably, from just the random click of a mouse.
