We went out to dinner tonight to celebrate my daughter's beautiful concert. We don't do this often because of our tight budget.

I noticed a very tired mom in some kind of uniform come in with her three children, maybe about age 4 or 5. She looked like she had just finished work. She sat with them quietly taking care of all their needs. Then I noticed, as soon as their finally food arrived, she took a bite of her food and then one of the kids had to go to the bathroom. They all left the table and she ushered them — so lovingly — especially after what may have been a long day at work.

I excused myself from the table and went quietly to hostess stand. I handed the hostess $15 and said, “Can you put this anonymously to that mom of 3’s bill? I am hoping it covered at least the children’s meals.” The hostess had such a lovely smile and enthusiasm for being in on this intention. I didn't stand around long as I didn’t want anyone — even my own family — to know what was going on. I wanted it to be completely anonymous.

For the rest of my meal I did all I could not to put any more attention directly on the table, as I didn't want her to suspect me in the act.

I thought about not sharing this story, but I feel like we are stealth, fierce — each others candle holders and lighters-- in our commitments to kindness, so it feels like I should share with you. Thanks for reading and thanks for all you do to inspire my heart to expand in greater kindness and commitment to more and more random acts of kindness. It feels so wonderful to live in this type of world, one of abundance and kindness, instead of lack and self-service. 24. What touched the author according to the passage? A.

With the holiday season well underway, it’s as good a time as ever to understand how your brain functions when driving on those long car trips.

Being tired or distracted while driving accounts for 20 and 25 percent of road crashes, with tired drivers even more likely to undergo distracting behaviors. Driving while tired can be just as bad as driving drunk.

But what is it exactly that makes our brains so bad at staying focused on the road when we’re exhausted?

“When we get sleepy and we are performing a dull task such as driving, we tend to look for other things that increase our alertness,” said Chris Watling. “Studies have shown sleepy drivers undertake more distracting-type behaviors to increase their levels of alertness such as gazing at passing scenery and speeding to increase their focus on the task of driving.”

But it’s not only that — it is likely that some tired drivers might also reach for their phones when driving to increase their alertness — an obvious issue when you’re supposed to be keeping your eye on the road.

“These behaviors were found to be more prevalent when driving long distance, which at the same time are increasing levels of sleepiness due to the time-on-task effect,” says Watling.
