Random Acts of Kindness

How do we change the world? One random act of kindness at a time.”

(Morgan Freeman)

Mark and his wife live in Texas with their Berner, Tootsie. We have never met in person. And yet Mark rested his mind and talents on the Gems and their humans.

I knew these were being made/sent but said nothing. Alison got hers first, and immediately texted me to ask if I knew anything about it. SO FUN.

I told Mark he could send Tommy’s to my house since I see Jennifer pretty regularly. I was glad I did because it was so wonderful to see her reaction to a stranger’s random act of kindness.

Han Solo was last and we were all waiting for that one to arrive — we did not want to spoil the surprise. Tricia’s reaction was similar to Alison. I immediately got a text asking if I knew about this Mark person in Texas 💙

Mark reminds me that the world is filled with good and decent humans who do nice things just because they can.

Thank you, Mark.

The words seem inadequate. It is just hard to know how to convey all the things it means when someone is so kind to us. It is like Mark tossed a kindness pebble into a pond of humanity and sent ripples moving outward.

And now those ripples have touched you ❤️
