26 Acts of Kindness


So what are we going to do now?

Some are calling for more guns.  Some are calling for less.  Some want guards and protection.

I’m dragging myself around with a heavy heart thinking about the recent shootings of kindergarteners at Sandy Hook elementary.  No, the shooting didn’t try to shoot up a gun show, nor a mountain man reenactment.  He went to some of society’s most vulnerable.  My last blog was about these social outcasts.  But this one is more about the rest of us and how to heal our hearts.

Ann Curry has a pretty good idea.  She proposes that we all perform 26 acts of kindness for the victims at Sandy Hook.  Some say how about 27 to include the shooter’s mother, also a victim.  Some even say how about 28, to include the wretched shooter. 


People are tweeting about what they’ve done, not in a boastful way, but with the joy of sharing their newly uplifted hearts.

I can’t wait to start.
