Jill shares a collection of simple acts of kindness that made a big difference.
Today’s good people post is not about a man saving 50 people from a burning building, nor about a dog rescuing a family in the Himalayas, nor about a woman stopping a runaway car with her own car. How often do any of us find ourselves in those situations and with the wherewithal to be a hero? When’s the last time you were walking and came across a burning building? Note that I am not putting those acts of heroism down … no, not at all! But I’m just saying that most of us will never, or at best once in our lifetimes, have the opportunity to be that sort of a hero. But … unless you’re a hermit like me … you interact with people on a daily basis, whether it’s a store clerk, librarian, a coworker, someone you pass while out walking the dog, or just the postman…

There is a good set here, reminding me of some from which I have benefited, e.g. the woman who returned my wallet left on an underground train

Sounds like you enjoyed Jill’s wonderful post as much as I did. I’m going to try to remember to write down my gratitude for the kindnesses.

Thank you for sharing!!.. I seen this Jill’s post while visiting her site, with the good for others you do, the good others do that you share here, you should be included in her post… “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness, and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” (Audrey Hepburn)… 🙂
Let your fingers continue to do the walking and your heart do the talking and until we meet again..
May the love that you give
Always return to you,
That family and friends are many
And always remain true,
May your mind only know peace
No suffering or strife,
May your heart only know love and happiness
On your journey through life.

Kindness feels so good because it’s what we’re meant to do. So glad you enjoyed the post, too, Larry. Peace to you, my friend.

“The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.” ( Frederick Buechner ).. 🙂
May your troubles be less
Your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door

Thanks for sharing Jill’s post. These stories of the power of simple acts of kindness reinforce my belief that, as a collective, we hold our broken world together.
