Somewhere in South Carolina, the roads are more pleasant to drive on because of this movement. One of my new friends near Greenville told me of an accomplishment which she attributed to One Million Acts of Kindness. She told me she didn’t like to drive with her husband because of a life-long driving habit he has. At the drop of a hat, he will wave one of his fingers at another driver who doesn’t drive to his liking. She has been after him for years to be less animated with his hand gestures. Nothing has worked and she had given up hope quite some time ago. A few days after we left town, she called me to tell me of this and that he had approached her and said, “I don’t know what happened, but ever since Bob came to town with that bus, I have stopped being so impatient with people when I drive”. He told her he was “cured”. Chalk one up for The Kindness Bus Tour. The more I think of it; maybe this was a major milestone.
