Random acts of kindness!
I was reduced to tears in Waitrose this morning.... but happy tears.
At the checkout the lady in front of me, who I had exchanged a very brief conversation with, bought a beautiful Poinsettia plant & paid for it. Before she left the shop she said to me " This plant is for you, to thank you for your friendly smile"
I was so surprised that I managed to say thank you & she then left the shop.
Everybody around us was saying " What a beautiful thing to do. We should do things like that more often"
I had to quickly find a tissue for my tears, so to follow her example I put £5 in a Cancer research box that a lady in the store was using to raise funds.
Perhaps some of you would like to continue a chain by doing a random act of kindness yourselves. It is a lovely experience, being on the receiving end.... and it doesn't even have to involve money!
