Recent random acts of kindness

Hi Everyone,
I was so touched by this recent act of kindness I wanted to pass it along and see if anyone else had any they wanted to share. Or ideas for random acts of kindness that we can do for others. These times can be so challenging with all that is going on in the world, so much bad news etc in our faces all the time, I hope this thread will put some positivity out there.

One day last week I had just a very stressful and frustrating day, nothing catastrophic but just one of those days where everything goes wrong, all the news seems terrible etc. Anyways I had just gotten dinner in the oven and was headed up to take care of some chores I had to do when I heard the doorbell. My husband answered, was outside for a while, I figured it was someone needing directions, looking for a lost cat or dog but when I went back down stairs he was coming back into the house with a bouquet of tulips and a box of cupcakes. It was from some neighbors of ours from down the road that we don't really know except to wave to. They were out delivering flowers and cupcakes to all of the neighbors on our road. Just trying to do something nice for everyone & bring a little brightness to people's day if they could. The flowers were beautiful, the cupcakes delicious but they paled in comparison to the sweet gesture our neighbors made to people for the most part they don't know. Did it solve all of the world's problems? No, but that simple act stays with me still and makes me want to do something to pass that kindness on soon. Would love to hear other's experiences. Have a great day!

 

That is simply adorable. What lovely neighbours you have. Mine just like to play the same 3 80’s song on repeat until 11pm .

Do you have a local holiday coming up ? Make invites telling them to bring a chair to the street ( or local park etc ) at a date and time. Make sandwiches, snacks and drinks, take some balls and rackets/ games , some music if possible and have yourself a neighbourhood party !

 

I like to go down to the local florist, buy like 7 or so flowers and just… gently put them down in front of people and aggressively tell them to have a nice day. I hope that if anything it gives people a laugh.

 

That is really sweet! We live in the city and neighbors dont even really talk to each other much.

 

I don’t have neighbors and i don’t like most of the people around me

 

Well aren’t we a happy bunch

last week my son wanted something specific for lunch so we went to the shop. An elderly lady needed a coin for the trolley and didn’t have one so I gave her one. At the till the lady infront was short by a little cash and said oh I’ll use my card , she was fumbling in her bag so I gave her the extra. On the way out a dogs charity was sat collecting and I gave him all the change I had. On the way out my son said no wonder you always you’re skint … I mean he does have a point I
