Editorial by Trudy Evans

Writing my editorial is tough for me. My mom and younger brother were, and are, the writers in my family. But I actually do have some thoughts I’d like to publish, so here goes...

Kindness...

I have witnessed a lot of it this past week, even as recent as today. In our little house we can hear a little of the outside world but we don’t have many windows, so we can’t just walk around and see what’s going on out there. Anyway, I heard a lawn mower and assumed the mowing sounds were from the family of my neighbor that passed away a few months ago... mowing her yard. Later Kayla and I left the house and noticed our front yard had been mowed but the neighbor’s yard had not. So the one who mowed my yard, whoever it was, did so out of kindness. When leaving the Tulsa Oilers hockey game tonight, a vehicle stopped and waited for us to cross. it definitely takes longer with my bad knee, and he didn’t have to wait. Kayla asked, “Why can’t everyone be kind like that?”

Then at QuikTrip a 20-something year old guy crossed over just so he could hold the doors for me...again showing kindness.

Kindness means the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. We have been the recipient of much kindness this past week. We try to always show kindness. If we all could show a little more kindness than we did yesterday or today, it would sure make everyone smile more.

Enjoy your families and friends this month as we celebrate Thanksgiving. We truly have a lot to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving!
