As I was introducing you to my brand new blog I listed several ways I planned on recognizing the many ways Ocala and "Ocalians" Rock. One item, which I promised to explain later, was a "Sweet Nothing". A "Sweet Nothing" can be a random act of kindness. It can be one Ocala citizen going out of their way for the good of others or to better the community. It's a little something that reinforces the belief that there are good people in the world and many of them live right here in Ocala.
Months ago, when I first decided that someone (possibly me) should be blogging about the positive in Ocala I saw my first "Sweet Nothing". While traveling through the newly completed intersection of 301 and 484 I noticed what looked like a yard sale sign in the grass median. As I came to a stop at the light I realized that it actually read "To the person who helped me with my truck THANK YOU for your help". My heart was warmed when I realized that not only had some good Samaritan taken the time to help a stranger but that the stranger could not let the good deed go unnoticed. One person sacrificing and another recognizing the act of kindness. How have you shown kindness to another today? I challenge you to be a sweet nothing in another's life today.
