it's a beautiful day...

It only takes one small act of kindness to make someone's entire day! Yesterday, while watching the golf channel, the commentators focused on a put for someone far back in the field. They mentioned it had been a tough week for this golfer, who had high hopes for a strong finish in this tournament. It wasn't going well for him. Anyway as he made the put, he reached into the cup and aimed and then directly and gently tossed the ball in the direction of a very young spectator. I', talking about three years old. He raced under the rope and quickly snatched the ball like a cherished prize. His smile became as wide as the grand canyon. He politely let his father and the his mother hold the ball and then the screen cut away to further golf action. I need to tell all, the simple act consideration is the missing ingredient in our world today, to revitalize and relive the glory of yesteryear. Yes I said it. You hear the conflict about weather global warming is occurring. There's talk about recession and other financial turmoil's. There's solid evidence of drugs, crime, war politics and hate as ever before. Yet any problem worth solving as complex as it may seem, a solution always starts with a basic fundamental concept. As in this example, it commences with "thoughtfulness"!
