NaBloPoMo's September Theme: ART

I love this month's NaBloPoMo theme, art.
I'm an amateur collector with a few good pieces.


This is a crappy photo of a wonderful piece I got in St. Lucia.

A Random Act of Kindness


Yesterday, my co-worker Nazli gave me half of her sandwich and some of her french fries. I hadn't asked her to get me anything or to share her lunch with me. Her simple act of generosity and thoughtfulness brought caused my eyes to water. I was touched beyond measure.

When was the last time you practiced a random act of kindness?
