“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
Dr Seuss
Here are some anonymous acts of kindness that was shared for this week.
“Whenever I see a cashier having a tough day, I always look at the candy selection, if there is one, and look stumped as to what to get. I ask them, ‘I can’t decide. What’s your favorite?’
I buy whatever they say, then hand it to them after the sale and tell them they’re doing a great job and to have a great day. It perks them up every single time.”
“Waiting to see my doctor. I see an elderly man with a walker talking to a driver service for seniors/ handicapped people about getting him a ride home. Apparently, there was a mix-up, and they couldn’t get a driver there. My doctor called me in and when I came out, the elderly man was still there talking to the driver service. I told the guy if he trusts me, I’ll take him home. He responded, ‘but I haven’t seen the doctor yet.’ I told him I’ll wait. Dude looked like he was going to cry.
He was actually a really nice man, and it was a pleasant ride.”
“I was in my art class in high school and there was a girl who I didn’t really know a few grades younger. I could tell she didn’t have many friends but was really sweet. She was talking to me one day and told me her birthday was soon and that she was so excited. I decided to send her those balloons and whatnot you can get through the student store on her birthday, though she didn’t know me very well, so I didn’t sign my name. It just so happened that the student store worker brought them in during our art class and I got to see her reaction. She lit up and kept telling us it had to have been her mom or her best friend who did it, and how she couldn’t believe that someone got her something and she wouldn’t stop smiling the whole rest of class. I never told her it was me. I was just happy she felt special. That was a pretty good day.”
Always remember there is goodness everywhere and kindness matters.
