“Most of us just haven’t learned to pay much attention to the countless hours of love, kindness, and care that surround us each day: a child at the store reaching for her mother’s hand, an elderly stranger at the park who smiles upon a young family, a grocery clerk who beams at you as she hands you your change.”  John Makransky
