Yes, I think we can all picture those three little kids eating the popcorn in an empty theater.

I guess what makes this an inspirational story is that it is true.

It is a love story as so many of my commentators have said.

Please God that there are angels in small towns and big cities like Peg lives in.

Maybe because small town people are not so anonymous, we hear about them there more often.

I love visiting my son and his family in their small town of 3000. Even the mayor there plows the streets in the winter in his pick up.
(and even unstops the toilets in city hall)

There is always a great story floating around.

But I think I will stay with Peg in a big city. I don’t know what I would do as a single woman there.

Maybe when I get old! (????????????)

Great ideas but someone got there first with that title!

I had this author on my TV show. Wonderful people. Great publisher.

Wish I had thought of it first. But I am not interested in lawsuits.

But keep those ideas coming!

Can’t wait for your interview coming up, Gordon. It will be fun to hear about and to listen to.

I wonder if someone should start charity blog around random acts of kindness. To borrow from some of the comments made already perhaps, “RAOK Transformers” could work as a name.

There must be loads of people with similar great stories that could cause equally unselfish responses by readers to donate to worthy causes and so on. Anyone willing brave the journalese gap and nominate a favourite charity site of course would then make it all work. Mr. Aesop of fables fame, would also be kept working to retain his title to the saying that “No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted”.

Corinne, as to your question about progress on my venturing out as cub-interviewer; the planning is going well. Having completed a written interview with my daughter (for practice), we have now rejoined each other in Oz this week. And based on keeping faith with the fantastic advice you gave me, today we were planning a follow up live interview for next month (audio only).

It is a lot of fun planning but we are also finding it both challenging and intimidating as we realize it will makes us very transparent. In the meantime she has given me a green light to publish my written interview as a post on my blog. That will be soon and I will let you know when.

Millions of these kind stories take place all the time – – but we never hear about them in the media or on the billions of blogs.

I live in a big city and I see “random acts of kindness” all the time – perhaps because I look for them too. They are every here and I hope you report more of them. Thanks , Corinne!
