| We can almost always find an opportunity for kindness. I filled my afternoon with small acts of kindness today and they didn"t take much time or effort, but I hope they made a small difference to the people who received them. This afternoon I went out shopping. My first stop was the supermarket. I wanted to buy some bread with chocolate for my little daughter Rita. After I got the bread, I went on to my second stop-a local charity (慈善) bookshop. I wanted to see if I could buy some books on unicorns for Rita. While I was there, I started a conversation with the shop assistant, during which she commented on the smell of my bread. I jokingly replied she could either avoid it (if she was on a diet) or go to the supermarket and get some. She replied she would prefer the second. "Even better. I will give you mine," I said. I gave my bread to her and walked straight out. She seemed a little surprised. When I came out, it was raining hard. Everyone looked quite soaked. They must have been running in the rain. I noticed a homeless lady selling the Big Issue (a magazine that supports homeless people) and she looked especially cold, so I gave her all my money to buy her magazines. I then went back to my car. I had to pay for two hours of parking instead of one because I didn"t have the correct change, so I still had an hour left on my parking. I waited until I saw a young couple drive in. I gave them one magazine and they were a little surprised and quite pleased. You see, doing acts of kindness is that easy. | |||||||||||||||||||
