Motivation Monday
Life Vest Inside has had the very good fortune of finding writers willing to share their Kindness Stories/Articles with us. One of our special recurring writers is David Jablinowitz, Op-Ed Editor at Jerusalem Post, who is famous for his “bus stories.”
Connecting Through Bagels
On a chilly December morning, I grabbed my favorite everything bagel with cream cheese from the local deli on my way to work. As I left, I spotted an elderly man at the bus stop, clearly in need.
Without hesitation, I offered him my warm bagel, which I knew might be his only hot meal of the day. His grateful smile warmed my heart, and I continued to work with a sense of fulfillment.
Later, a coworker, touched by my kindness, shared half of her fresh bagel with me. It reminded me how interconnected we all are, bound by acts of kindness that come full circle.
In that moment, I realized the power of compassion to connect us in unexpected ways, even on the busiest of mornings.
