And so it was, on the eve of Kindness Day, that it hit me. As we scrambled around our nearby streets in the chill and darkness, leaving silly hats, and reminders of kindness for our small community to awaken to, I thought to myself, "Heller would have LOVED this!"I know that I have said it before. I have shared Heller's kind heart with you all, and I have stood by the fact that Heller would want us to spread kindness because of him on December 22nd.
But, what I discovered this evening was different. What I came to realize, with a heavy heart, is that Heller would have loved DOING this. I only wish that I had thought of it sooner. I wish we were doing kindness WITH Heller instead of because of him.
As I write this message, in the early hours of Kindness Day Because of Heller 2010, I am filled with sadness, longing, excitement, and gratitude. I truly hope you will delight in delivering kindnesses, sharing kindnesses, and growing kindnesses today, but don't stop tomorrow! Keep delivering kindness.
Share it with everyone you know. The sooner everyone is DOING kindness together, the better the world will be!
