Kindness goes a long way

I am once again following the Folk Magazine Journaling Agenda and am excited to share my post this week.

So this post is about reflecting on a family moment which I think is perfect for Valentines Day as in our house valentines day is shared as a family.  I don't expect my husband to treat me like a queen on the 14th of February each year, that should be done everyday!

So here is my picture.....

This picture was taken in 2010 on a family trip to Chicago.  My little guy was 3 and even though this is not the most flattering picture of me this is a precious memory of our little family.

This was a dream trip for me, I love big Cities, I love the hum and buzz, I love the movement and energy.  We lived in St Louis so Chicago really was a short drive for us to get to the hustle and bustle. This trip was a precious 4 days spent with each other exploring a new city.  We found so many little spots in Chicago that we fell in love with. 

We spent our days walking miles and miles ( we like to do that).  This photo was taken my an older couple that you could tell loved their city.  They wanted to take a photo of us because they remembered the days of their children growing up and not having family photos.  They were very cute, cycling around the city.  I love meeting people that live in the city you are visiting, I love hearing stories and seeing peoples love for their home.

They in a way made that trip for me, this photo  made that trip for me , the kindness of two strangers flow through the memories and remind me that kindness goes a long way!
