It may sound dopey, but Random Acts of Kindness are great! A little good Karma goes a long way!

Nothing dopey about it. That's a neat thing to do. Think what the world would be like if we all did Random Acts of Kindness.

I felt bad after our annual Staghorn Fern meeting Thursday for not giving a plant to someone who did not have one. I'll try to do better next time. You are one up on me.
