"During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy." Joann C. Jones
Claudia of Everyday Kindness has made some changes ... splitting the Everyday Kindness Challenge into two parts:
1. The original challenge to perform at least one act of kindness per day continues.I invite you to participate in either or both challenges as time & energy permit. Clicking on the Simply Kind and/or Everyday Kindness logos at the top and bottom of this page will take you to others participating.
2. The new challenge is 'Simply Kind Tuesdays' ... the goal of which is to increase awareness of the kindness that surrounds us.
"Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not." Samuel Johnson

I love that story! Thank you so very much for sharing it. I can't think of a better time to be reminded of the importance of every single person then now.

Beautiful story. I wish the medical community was like this today, but it's not. It's so cold and no one really knows your name. You just fall through the cracks. My mother is a nurse and feels the same way. Thanks so much for your get will wishes. Take care my friend.
That's a good story & I wish more would read this & take it to heart! It's an important lesson!
Great lesson to be learned. :)
ABSOLUTELY. Beautiful post.
