„Since I’ve been here and seeing, even been shocked by, some of my peer’s acts of true selflessness, has really inspired me to do the same. I’m not referring to big, grand gestures you tell your grandchildren about, but rather small daily acts of kindness that show a true awareness of your surroundings and an understanding of what it means to be the ‘bigger person’ ….. silver linings on dismal days.
And I now actively search for things we’re lucky to experience but may take for granted. A beetle, a snippet of a song, the way light catches a tree, a tennis ball – just to name a few, and all real examples for me.“
