Thank you Kind Mower Man!

Michelle from Owhata

I am not sure who the contractor is who does our road verge mowing down Te Ngae Road but I would like them to know the kindness of the dear man mowing Te Ngae Road today.
I was biking to school with my son and he paused as we went by so we didn't get sprayed by dirt and grass. I nodded my thanks.
On my way back he paused a good 20 seconds before I got to him so the dust could settle. This time I shouted my thanks.
What would it take for us to all acknowledge the kindness of those simple gestures? What kindness can we each be in the small things that can contribute to a more joyful community and planet?
1000 kindness points to this sweet Mower Man!
Thank you again!
