Acts of kindness

I'm really a big softie at heart. There's a section on the Toronto Star's website where readers can submit stories about random acts of kindness they've received in and around the city from total strangers. I find it makes for good reading, especially if I'm ever feeling a bit down or just generally bored.

I don’t celebrate Christmas (or Hanukkah!) , but I know this time of year signifies ‘the season of goodwill’ and other pleasant stuff to a lot of people. So in that spirit, I suggest you check it out. Much as I hate reading things online, I always find this a real joy – a reminder that there are still good and decent people out there.
