Random Acts of Kindness

I was getting gas last week and was surprised to find two ladies performing acts of kindness. They gave me 5 dollars towards my gas and washed my windows. They looked really happy doing it. I was in shock really. We do live in a kind society compared to others I won't mention. It still impresses me when people are kind for no personal gain. I think we don't teach our children this enough perhaps. Life isn't about personal gain, but our relationships with others is what gives us joy, we are human after all. I learned this early on in my life. I'm proud to say I have an Aunt and Uncle who have always been keen givers. I always thought it was cool when I would receive a little note at Christmas that I helped to feed a family. It made me become a volunteer and probably decided my career path. I have become discouraged with the human race lately with their seemingly lack of concern for their neighbors and endless greed, but little things like the two ladies last week give me hope. I'm saving my 5 dollars to pass on, keep the kindness going. Cheers!
