So her “Tradition of Kindness” 13 . Each day she and her son went on to 14 the homeless man breakfast. The 15 was kept until they moved away several years later, 16 the experience was firmly put into her son’s mind.
My friend 17 every time she tells me that this “Tradition of Kindness” goes on with her son, who remembers this 18 tradition. Now working in a company, her son stops every morning at Starbucks for a coffee and offers a homeless person a breakfast before going to the 19 .

It was a cold winter. The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just 1 any November day. His 2 , when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it 3 . One morning, I walked slowly 4 and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman clearing my walk. I dropped to my knees and crawled back upstairs, 5 those good people would not see me. I was 6 . My first thought was, how would I ever 7 them? I didn’t have the 8 to brush my hair, 9 clear someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I felt proud that I 10 asked for favors. I identified myself by my competence and 11 . So who was I if I was no longer capable? How could I 12 myself if I just sat on the couch every day and watched the snow fall?
Learning to receive the love and 13 from others wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried. Finally, my friend Kathy said, “Mary, cooking for you isn’t a 14 for me; it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard 15 words from the people who supported me during those 16 days. One wise man told me, “You aren’t doing nothing because being fully open to your 17 may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I 18 was, but in many ways I have changed for the 19 . I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming form 20 one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.

My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.
Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.
This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.
We can ruin a person’s life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: “Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.” So please remember to watch what you say.
