Among Friends

[elated]

This is such a kind and thoughtful discussion. It would be nice if we could do something nice each day. The other day I went to the humane society and this woman had all these bags of dog food to donate. I offered to help her carry the bags and another couple offered. It was nice to help another person. She had a toddler who carried a smaller bag. Kindness can never be underestimated.

@Wheatchick1 What a dear you are and I love your attitude!

I prefer to not "toot my own horn" when doing good deeds.

@ID2 I don't think of it as tooting the generosity horn but instead a reminder to spread kindness and gift a happy smile to someone's day.When I read theses stories it inspires me to make someone's day a little brighter when the opportunity presents itself.

I love this!

It is a good feeling, isn't it? I have done this with tolls (before ez pay), coffee, donuts.

Great gift at a very stressful time of year for many.  And....you didn't have to wrap it.

Nice reminder to all of us (certainly NOT tooting!).  Thanks, wheat.

”Tooting my own horn” as ID2 so eloquently put it was absolutely the furthest thing from my mind and didn’t even register in my brain when I made my post.

Quite the opposite.  The reason I posted about what happened was because I was truly touched and moved by the unexpected kindness that a stranger had bestowed upon me. It may not seem like a big thing to you, but it touched me deeply. It gave me a lift and a smile for the rest of the day.

I am sorry that ID2 looked at it from a cynical viewpoint. That makes me sad. But I can’t control what other people think. It probably says more about them than it does about me.

But hey - it’s Friday and I hope everyone has a great day!
