Hello Everyone! I love sharing with you every week and hope that my writing enriches your life, in some small way.. With this in mind, let me share that last week three different people demonstrated that they remembered my kindness towards them. The first encounter happened at the VHS awards day program, when a former coworker came over to warmly greet me. Next, a dental hygienist came to the area where another hygienist was waiting on me and stated that she saw me and just had to come speak. Finally, I stopped by a hot dog sale and gave a donation, as I was leaving someone I hadn;t noticed said, “Thank you Mrs. Pigott”. They all appeared to be glad to see me but I was even more glad to see them. I was taught to be kind to others and I try to practice it on a daily basis. #KindnessIsContagious
