It’s time to go on the road again. I tried to visit as many blogs as time allowed. I knew the blogging community would get along fine without me. 
At any rate I wanted to leave you with an idea. I’ve been hosting websites and blogs for a few years now. When I first started as a webmaster for the site West Virginia Outdoors I belonged to a community called Random Acts Of Kindness. That community has since disbanded. It’s purpose was just to bring a smile to the face of someone in need of one. Back then people were telling their stories on personal webpages more so than on blogs. A cool graphic posted to a guestbook saying you have been touched by a random act of kindness always brought positive feelings and remarks. With all of that being said I have been reading blogs lately that really pull at the hearts strings. When I read blogs where a person is struggling with one thing or another I feel the need to comment encouragingly but usually find myself afraid of what I might say. So I made this graphic to give away instead.
No, I’m not an angel. The graphic basically means that I understand what you are going through and you are not alone. That’s what it means to me. It could mean more depending on who uses it and the circumstances. I want to give this graphic to anybody that wishes to use it. It’s cool to be kind and to let people know they are not alone. If you use it you don’t have to link back here but please let the recipient know of it’s purpose. I think it would be cool to see where this goes in the next eleven days. I want to see how far this angel can fly and how many lives it touches.
I’m going to send it to New York right off the bat to my friend Morgan. Morgan is a recovering addict and telling about her struggles as well as her accomplishments. I feel for her because I know what it is like to want something so bad you would be willing to do anything to get it. I also know about putting it behind you and the struggles caused by simply doing the right thing.
MightyMorgan you have been touched by an Angel. I understand the struggles you face on a daily basis please accept this graphic and know that you are not alone.
Be sure to check out Morgan’s blog The Process of a Miracle.
Until next time…

Denny…you make me smile and my eyes well in tears…..of all the awards meme’s and other acheivements I have been given since the start of my journey I have to say this one came at the exact moment in time when I needed it.
You my friend are an angel to me in more then one way…and in more ways then other people in the blogging world know…your constant “random acts of kindness” are a large part of the reason I am where I am…and from the deepest most bright parts of my spirit I say thank you….and thank you for touching and blessing my life with your presence.

That’s a wonderful idea. I think we definitely need more random acts of kindness in the world.

Thank you for recognizing her. You are an angel indeed.

I had to think for a bit and listen to a couple songs while trying to decide the words to use in responding to these comments.
First of all… Morgan. You are very welcome… I respect you for what you are doing as well as your writing, you will always have a friend in West Virginia.
Film Geek and Kristine… thanx for commenting. I just think it would be so simple it really takes no effort to be nice to people but that is something both of you already know
Rolando, I couldn’t agree more about Morgan if I were twins
But I’m no Angel, I’m just a guy that works ten hours a day, spends to much time away from home and trying to survive from one day to the next. But I know what is right, I know that because my heart tells me what is right and if more people would listen to their heart this world would be full of ‘angels.’
btw - thanx for commenting

Rolando… just call me the absent minded blogger… I forgot to congratulate you for receiving the touch of an angel. Consider that oversight corrected
