Last night I went to an event to watch the fireworks and had no ticket. They were all sold out. Standing by the side, watching a beeline moving slowly to the security scanning tickets, I evidently looked like someone working on an idea. That's how an old lady I had helped with directions earlier approached me and said 'I got an extra ticket and I don't think the person is coming, would you like to join me in'.
Wow, some people can be so nice 
Offering money to the old lady for the ticket would have been an insult to her generosity, so I will look for my own day to be generous to someone random. Kindness keeps the world going. Have you had a beautiful experience too? |

Yeah. I told my friend I'd text him through the evening as I walked to the train - got the train home and walked from the station ......
He took me out to my destination - waited while I was in the theatre - he drove me home....
He said it was for all my kindnesses..... how lovely |

"I always look out for opportunities the help total strangers as you never know when that moment of kindness might help someone struggling with a bad day"
You are very right. A simple conversation of kindness itself can make someone's day. |

I’m certainly a big believer in the ripple effect |

I don't socialise enough to be the receiver of "good deeds". Although a smile goes a very long way and I appreciate it.
I try and do little bits here and there to brighten peoples days. |

Let's hear it for the old ladies.
Yesterday 5 hour train journey home from Scotland. Got delayed. Had to change trains twice. Tilting trains as well, which make me nauseous. 3 kids going mental being stuck on there.
Final train and nice old lady got talking to my kids. Talked about school work, books, played with the play doh and made things with them. It was pure joy. My stress levels went down, my headache went and I even enjoyed the journey from that point  |

"It’s always nice to have opportunities to ‘pay it forward’"
You are right. There was a pay it forward challenge some years back, we should do it again. |

I helped a mum get her baby and pushchair, get up to her flat on the top floor. I was told the lift had broken down in our block earlier in the day, I nipped down to put the bins out. As I came back in to the block, I saw her and her baby in the buggy. I offered to help them up, then she said we live on the fourth floor.
Not a big hassle for me, but it helped her at that time. |

"Paying it forward can mean so much to someone who might be having one of those days. "
You are so right and I will payback surely one of these days. Beautiful profile  |
