Myself, sitting outside and wearing a Yankees baseball shirt and sunglasses, smiling. Logo in white in the bottom left corner. When I wrote my first Kindness post, I definitely did not anticipate that I'd get to write another one. Cynical? Maybe. Little faith in other humans? A bit dramatic. Realistic? Totally.

One Hundred And One
I know, I know. Been a while since my last post. Oops. Life got in the way for a minute there. I'm still here, though! Promise. I just got word that I surpassed one hundred followers on this blog!
