A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way

New neighbors are building their "dream house" on our street. They had sent a note to everyone introducing themselves when the construction started a year ago, but we had not met them yet. We bought a small plastic basket, filled it with candy and attached it to the temporary fence with a note saying: "Welcome to the neighborhood, your home is beautiful and the workers have been exceptionally courteous. Thank you." They came by to say that that small act meant the world to them because they had been experiencing an overwhelming amount of problems with the construction and were at the end or their rope with it all. Some times the smallest things have a big impact. Think it. Do it. You may just make someone's day.
