Random acts of kindness - What have you done lately?

I was in receipt of one this morning. I was getting on my bus to get to work and found an empty seat. I took one of the side facing seats that are over the wheels, so I had to step up to the seat. There are four seat there in a row. I took the one to the far left and there was a guy sitting to the one on the far right. As I was going to sit down (after having stepped up), I dropped my bus pass. It was right under my feet on the floor of the bus so there was no problem for me to step back down and get it. This guy immediately jumps up, comes over and picks up my bus pass for me. You don't see things like that to often!


(Also the bus driver was nice in letting me use my April bus pass this morning, either that or he just didn't really noticed I showed the April one and not the May one!)

Every time I go across the local toll bridge I pay for the person behind me... When my friend lost her life on 911, her parents asked that we do a roandom act of kindness in her honor. I contiue to do this and always will. It is something nice, and it reminds me of a friend and ensures that I don't forget the events of that day...

I need to drive behind you .. especially over the Verrazano.
way nicer than me ! LOL

I offered one of my 9 year old football players the opportunity to talk about the divorce his parents are going through because I went through it when i was a young boy.

A lady dropped the entire contents of her purse on the street so I helped pick it all up....

Very nice of you. This happened to me when I was out with a girlfriend at a bar. A gentleman helped pick everything up and I set him up with my friend. He's a lucky man!

Ha ha she was a little bit to old to have friends anywhere near my age

I was nice to everyone I posted comments to on MFP.

I bought the couple behind me their Starbucks order the other day.

I felt good about that

I re-racked every weight in the weight room today before I left, and organized them by size properly.

The girl working today is itty bitty and people leave it for her to do. Makes me upset.

i honked at a dude who was gonna swerve into my lane

A homeless guy told me he needed a little more money to buy his pack of cigs and I gave it to him, and I thought it was cool that he was honest about that even though I do not condone smoking.

I saw a homeless man who was on the street and my heart was telling me that he really needed help. I waited in line for nearly twenty minutes buying him a meal then went back and he was gone. I gave the meal to another homeless man with a sign asking for Money which I will usually not pay attention to, then around the corner I saw the first Homeless man and felt terrible because my heart was telling me that I needed to help him, and sappy me started to cry. I had no more money so went home over 5 mi away and made him a nice hot meal when it began to thunderstorm, but I was determined, so took the chance and drove back and of course he was gone! I drove around looking in all the covered areas hoping to find him and after about 15min I found him under the awning of a drug store. I got out of my car in the pouring rain and gave him the meal along with my Blessings and told him that God was looking after him.

I have given many times before actually very often but rarely will my heart pull at me like that day. Once a few years ago I worked up the courage after months of seeing a Homeless man in the same area to buy him a meal. When i returned, he too was gone and again I cried like a baby because I just knew he needed my help that day. I never saw him again and wonder why.

We can't always help those in need but I've learned that a friendly Hello or even a hug if you are willing, can make all of the difference in the world to those who are lost!

Blessings friends!!!

Guy at the convenient store was trying to get work with construction crews as he had been unemployed for a while and was only asking for a cup of coffee. Every morning for two weeks bought him a cup of coffee and a bagel a few months back. Last week he saw me at publix and paid my grocery bill even though I told him not to worry about it.

Honestly prayed for a lady on here who may have fibroids, along with helping someone to buy some food for the church. At the end of day, you need me and I need you.

I learned if you want to change your picture on the discussion boards you have to do it there. When you change it on the profile site it will only change it on your where you comment on friends not the forums. I also had to download from my computer. I could not access my saved profile pictures. I learned this in another thread. Go to message board preferences. It will say change picture for forum sites.

The rose was from my mom's garden. It is from a 50 year old bush and smelled like a real rose. WONDERFUL. :drinker:

I meant to post this in another forum. If it helps you it is my intentional act of kindness today.

I've done stuff, but the idea is that no one needs to know. A true act of kindness is doing something for someone who can offer you (and asking for) nothing back that no one will ever know about.

I agree that is the not telling is a true act of kindness. :flowerforyou: For me coming and reading what people do gives me more ideas of ways to be kind. I like to read these when I have had a hard day at work. That is why I found this thread again after the change in format and bookmarked it for myself.
