Earlier this week I received a text from Mark the mowing man.
Mark is a great bloke. We often have a chat when he’s here. Mark is friendly, reliable and he has cool tattoos.
Here’s how this week’s text convo with Mower Man Mark played out.
I thought that would be the end of it. He’s running a small business, not a free mowing service.
Even a generous guy might baulk at waiting that long… but not Mark.
(For the record, because I know that you know I love language, kindness trumps punctuation!)
How great is Mark?
I was pretty damned chuffed, and humbled, by his offer.
On Wednesday morning, Mark sent someone around to mow the lawns, and I think you’ll agree they look great.
It’s kind of wonderful to have someone trust you like Mark trusted me this week.
Better get back to the job hunting now, I owe Mark $50!
Do you have a Mark in your life?
Who has shown you kindness lately?
Better yet, who have you been a Mark to?

I find this really touching, Annette. There is kindness in the world, isn’t there? On a bad day it sometimes doesn’t feel like it, but it is there, in people like Mark (and you too, I’m sure). Thank you for sharing your texts 🙂
