A place for my unformed thoughts. Help me sort them out!

Why is it that kindness is what brings me to tears? When people do something nice for me, or give me a sincere compliment, I can't help the tears that well up in my eyes. It is the warmth, and the hospitality and feeling at home that makes me miss Baltimore so much. When I get an e-mail from a friend who says that I am good friend, and it is hard to find those, that's when I cry. Or when I think about someone going out of their way to help me is when I find myself sniffling. It is those little touches of kindness that get to me. I think it is love for those in my life, and for those around me that brings the tears, because I know that is what I feel when I think about those kindnesses. I think love really is about giving, even when it is just something small.

It shows that you are an incredible passionate generous person. I am sure that despite their crustiness the New Yorkers will warm to you and soon enough you will be surrounded by wonderful people who admire and respect you.

TRK -

Thank you for the compliments. I am lucky that I have many wonderful people in my life, and hopefully you will be right, and I will manage to add some "crusty" New Yorkers to that list soon.
