My gift today was a donation to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. I decided this morning to go the the museum when my friend in KC wasn't going to be home until later in the evening. I'm so happy I decided to go visit the museum; the experience was absolutely wonderful. It was my first time to the museum, and it is filled with some interesting/beautiful pieces of artwork. I especially enjoyed the photographs and contemporary pieces of artwork. Also, I had the chance to meet Zach Houston, who creates poems on the spot about any subject. I had Zach create a poem about running for me since I will be running in the Warrior Dash this weekend. It was really interesting to watch Zach type on his typewriter to create a one-of-a-kind poem. The museum experience made me feel very at peace, and I'm glad I had the chance to make a donation to the museum. After leaving the museum, I started following my mapquest directions to my friend's house. Needless to say I got a little mixed up and ended up a little out of the way in Liberty, MO. I was trying to navigate with my giant atlas and decided to stop and get some supper since it was approaching nine o' clock. I planned to stop at Chick-fil-A, but I spotted Jimmy Johns and just had to go there. I'm sure glad I did because I met this nice gentleman who helped me find the exact directions to my friends house. He was so patient, kind, and helpful. It just made my day! I walked out of Jimmy Johns with a skip in my step. Small acts of kindness and giving make a big difference!
