Lately I’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness of people. It’s a welcome break from the idiocy that normally dominates news stories and confronts me all around.

What has overwhelmed me are not large acts. Rather, its the compiling of many small acts. Connections between people. A former co-worker receiving an outpouring of support from so many people. A personal connection made with a postal worker. The trust of a client leaving me her house key under her apartment doormat. Help from friends and family with my pets.

It’s nice to be reminded how nice we all can be. How we can all connect once we pull ourselves from behind a screen. How we all are able to support and love one another.
