I'll be spending this month doing random acts of kindness, trying to brighten a few peoples days and bring a little love into the world. I'm a Don Quixote out to fight my windmills.

My laptop
So, this time I was on the receiving end of a kindness, so I thought I'd share. Last Thursday I brought my laptop to school so I could work on an English essay during class. I don't have a real case for it, so I kept it in a brown paper grocery bag. Well, I brought it outside with me as I was waiting to get picked up from school, then my mom came and I went home. At about 5:00 I started looking for my laptop; I couldn't find the brown paper bag I was keeping it in. Then I realized that I left it outside of the school. Well, we dashed over, but I was sure it was lost forever: either someone had stolen it or it was damaged. While, when we pulled up to the school, I looked for it outside, but nothing was there. Thankfully, the school doors were still open (they are almost always locked by 4:00), so was the office. When I walked in my laptop was right on the front desk; someone had turned it in. It would have been so easy for someone to take it, and they probably would never have been found out. Yet, out of the kindness of someone heart, they turned in the laptop to make sure it found its way back to me, with no expectation of reward or anything. That just brightened my day little, not to mention it saved me several hundred dollars for a new computer!

It is nice to know that the Golden, Silver, Platinum Rules still matter to some of us!
