Stories of Kindness from Around the World

February 11 - 12 As usual bus trip started with giving birthday card pack to driver.

Kept door open several times for people at Port Authority, and many other places for many people during my two days in NYC.

Posted birthday card to KS friend with quote cards. Gave birthday card to clerk at post office and complimented her on her nice service.

Attended friend's 50th birthday party. I made and gave Birthday card with many quotes and lines so other friends can write their messages. I told some jokes to many people that made them laugh. Remained after dinner and helped in the kitchen with cleaning and packing.

Gave some homemade sweets to a friend.

Gave several quote, SMILE and birthday cards and some Mindy's peace doves to bus driver, subway & bus passengers and people on the street. At Indian grocery, cashier took out dove from birthday card pack and hanged near cash register. Thank Mindy.


At Staples, I let go first from behind in line. Also let go two people behind me at other store.

One girl looked depressed ( seated opposite to me in subway car), closing eyes she was trying to take rest. I gave quote and SMILE card to her male companion. They read them and the girl smiled. Then I gave the girl a bunch of cards. Joy. was seen on her face. She thanked me again and again.

Gave 3 cookie packets with smile and quote cards and some donations to 3 needy people. I talked a little with one inquiring if he is ok. He smiled and was happy.

Prayed twice while going and returning for well beings of hospital patients when bus passed by.

One lady boarded train and saw the empty seat next to me, but kept searching for another one. I thought, “She will come back and have the seat next to me.” Positive thinking worked well! I gave her quote and smile card . She liked and tried to talk to me, whenever I do not understand her, she wrote me what she was saying. I told her one positive thinking story and my positive experience. She asked me, are you a writer? I said no. She was writing articles on positive objects, things and people. I gave her my email address. She promised to email her website info.

At our Sunday meet I asked one lady to help make some collages used for make greeting cards. She took home some paper cuttings and will bring assembled collages next week.

Talked to driver while returning home. On my request he gave me his name. I will make him personal bookmark with his name on it. I met him 5-6 times during my bus trips to or from NYC. He remembered what stop I needed. I gave him quote cards and birthday during these trips. I complimented him for his nice service.

Whenever I found some recycles or obstacles I moved them away.

Kindness is getting kinder to me day by day.

I thank God for His help and blessings to watch me do all of the above RAOK's.
I also thank one KS friend to help me put this in perspective.
