The Anonymous Shovel
A Scout is Kind~54 sec134 wordsMixed / FamilyScouts BSA
Every winter, an older widow on one street woke up to find her driveway already shoveled. Nobody ever knocked. Nobody left a note. She spent years wondering who it was. The truth was a whole family down the street who set their alarm thirty minutes early on snowy days, just so she would never have to worry.
Some of the best kindness is the kind nobody sees. A Scout is Kind, not for praise or thanks, but because it's the right thing to do. Quiet kindness proves your good turn was for the other person, not for you.
This week, do one secret kindness. Leave a nice note, take out a neighbor's trash can, or clean up something before anyone notices. Don't tell anyone. Just enjoy knowing you made the world a little warmer.
