Z End

At the end of the day there is nothing better than putting your head on the pillow and catching some ZZZs.  So it seems only natural that for my last entry in the ABCs of kindness I should help someone do just that.

I thought about writing the most boring entry I could think of to help lull the reader to sleep.  But that didn't feel right.  Leaving some Ambien on a park bench for someone to find?  A bad idea on several levels.....Helping someone fall asleep is a rather tricky act of kindness.

And then it struck me. Good Night Gorilla. My all time favorite children's going to bed book ever.  I give a copy to anyone I know who is having a baby.  It is a standard gift when I'm attending a birthday party for
children five or under. And even though my boys are twelve and eleven, we still have our copy hanging around the house. Today I bought one and added it to my small pile of gifts to donate as Christmas comes closer. And I hope that some child somewhere, along with their mom or dad, enjoys the  gorilla sneaking in the house for a snuggle with the zoo keeper and his wife while the mouse with the banana keeps a watchful eye, as much as we did.

Thank you to all who have followed this blogging adventure A to Z. Your words of encouragement and support have been the key to helping me see this project through to the end.  And of course the biggest thank you of all goes to Kim, my partner in blogging and kindness  who made this commitment along with me and helped prove that doing something with a friend is always more fun.
