So, you may or may not know, but it is International Random Act of Kindness week!
Today we realised at work that we had hardly any teaspoons left and my colleagues had ran out of sweetener for their tea and coffee (for anyone who works in the NHS, this is a big deal!) I don't drink the stuff for religious purposes, but tonight whilst shopping I thought I would buy some spoons and sweetener and leave them in the staff room as a nice gesture (it's ok, they won't see this so won't know it's from me!) It's the simple things in life that make me smile.
Anyway, I was also buying a dress for my eldest daughter, price was £18. When I arrived at the checkout, it scanned as £6! I said to the checkout operator to double check, as I wasn't aware of it being on sale. I was right, it should have been £18, but "because of my honesty" she gave me it for £10!!! Now I don't do nice things to receive something in return, but it is always a bonus to receive a gesture of good will :-)
I hope you are all enjoying carrying out your random acts of kindness, they may just brighten someone's day, like it has mine :-)
