Little acts of kindness

What a lovely, thoughtful thing to do. Yes, it's so often a little gesture that means so much.

Happy for you, mishap. Lovely thing to happen

Lovely!

What a lovely gesture Mishap. There are indeed some very kind, thoughtful people out there.

So heartwarming.

Very pleased for you, Mishap. So heartwarming.

What a lovely thought mishap. I will try to do that for someone who needs it. Rhankvyou for telling us and I'm so glad it lifted you!

How lovely Mishap

these 'little' acts of kindness are the very best to restore one's faith in mankind. Wonderful Mishap.

I bet that made you feel so much better, Mishap.

Waht a lovely thing to do. There are some nice people out there.

Really nice thoughtfull gesture,a wee chink of sunshine for you x

How lovely mishap and what a super thing to do. I am still wondering who sent me some Interflora (ie expensive) flowers 2 weeks ago and it sort of takes the joy out of them not quite knowing whether they really were for me.

It was indeed a lovely thing to do.

Tiggy it was probably an ex-lover from years ago who tracked you down and is still pining for you.

What a thoughtful warm gesture mishap.

how nice mishap and uplifting. Here's more

I wish janerowena !!

I'll try to make it my New Year's resolution- to remember how just a little effort, gesture, smile or flowers (wrong season- but I love taking wild flowers from the meadows to older ladies who can't go out anymore)...

This is wonderful, and a good lesson in how we can so easily lift someone's day by just a small act of kindness.
I think, in spite of all the evil in the world, there are also a million acts of kindness everyday which go un-noticed.
I'm going to make an effort to be more thoughtful. I'lll start right now!
- these are for everyone who feels a bit down.

How lovely Mishap

How kind and thoughtful of your acquaintance Mishap. I'm pleased to hear it has lifted your spirits.

I agree with henetha, lots of acts of kindness go on every day without anyone knowing and I think there is more good than bad in the world. The television news should start to include good stuff instead of all the evil we are being bombarded with. We all need to be uplifted sometimes

My DS (who I moan about on here) phoned me on Thursday coming home from college to tell me he had found a dog roaming and what to do about it. I asked did it have a collar and he said no. I told him to bring it home and we would inquire about it to vets, RSPCA etc. He phoned me back a few minutes later when he said when he went to pick it up, it scampered off into a shop/warehouse nearby. He followed it and asked the people inside if the dog belonged to them. They said yes and thanked him for making sure she was safe. I was really proud of him and glad he has this side to him to help people.

A couple of years ago an elderly lady got a card stuck in the part of the ATM where receipts come out of. She said it was her neighbours card who she was shopping for. She was panicked and upset. The staff at ASDA did nothing. My son ran into the shop, bought some tweezers and took time to slowly get the card back out, which he did. Proud mum again.

Having watched so many programmes recently about elderly people who may not speak to someone all day I do make a point of saying hello while out walking the dog. If someone engages in conversation I try to take a few minutes to chat. Not much but it might help.
