Kindness

I am on a bit of a roll tonight.  After a month of inactivity, largely earthquake related inertia driven, I am feeling inspired to share a whole lot of stuff all of a sudden. In one week we were the recipients of two very kind acts from others.  Nic and his entire school received 'bedtime beanies' from the wonderfully kind knitters from around the country.  It was amazing to see everyone bouncing out of school in wonderful hand knitted hats. Each one came with a little note...ours said 'made with love in Tauranga'  No prizes for guessing what that felt like. 
 Then came home a gorgeous bag of goodies presented to all families at school full of cosmetics and other useful things for the whole family.  This was put together by the very generous Cosmetic Toiletry and Fragrance Association.  Wow!! Sooo kind. 'Something to brighten your day' said the little note.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for every kind earthquake thing.  Every nice comment, little treat and acknowledgement is very supportive and does bring a ray of sunshine to our lives.

Wow, Nic is looking so grown up! He looks so cool and comfortable at that piano, too - it totally suits him :) But what lovely things people are doing! Kindness rocks!
Hope you are all keeping well and happy up there x
