BY STEVE NUBIE Tomorrow, February 17th is Random Acts of Kindness Day. What can we all do to make that happen? I live in a suburb west of Chicago. We get lots of snow in the winter. I have a snow blower as a result. One day, while snow blowing our driveway I noticed that our neighbor’s driveway and walk was still topped with snow. She was elderly and lived alone. When I finished our driveway and walk I wheeled over to her house and started snow blowing her driveway and walk. She came out half-way through and waved me towards her house. She said, “I didn’t know who you are and don’t have any money to pay you.” I said, “That’s okay. I’m out and about and got plenty of gas and you live really close.” She knew who I was when I pulled my hood from my face, and she smiled. When I got done she waved me back in and she had made coffee and the most wonderful blueberry pasty’s. We talked and laughed and I brought a pasty home to me wife and it was a very good day. It was a day defined by a random act of kindness.
