		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever had someone do something kind and unexpected?  Isn't that the most amazing feeling?  Doesn't it make you feel like the whole world looks a little better? Doesn't it make a difference in how you treat the next person?  Just think if we all got into the habit of random acts of kindness.  I think the world would be a better place.  I think we could achieve world peace. OK, that might be a tall order, but I bet we could make a difference in our little worlds, and who knows where it could lead. Science Daily states that there are three degrees of separation with acts of kindness.  Just think....three more degrees, and you might reach Kevin Bacon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Through each trial in my life, I have grown.  At the age of 46, I am not the person that I started out as at 20.  I am wiser because of painful mistakes.  I am more forgiving and loving as I have realized my own imperfections and limitations. But as I face the trial before me, I find myself thinking, “Good grief, how much more do I need to grow? How good does a person need to get???”]]></description>
