Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Putting My Blue Mood Aside For Kindness


--by Kindmyst, posted Dec 17, 2016
I am sad, election blues. This too shall pass, eventually. I know we need to keep kindness at the forefront now more so than ever.
Yesterday - I went to ALDI and as I was leaving an elderly woman was struggling with her cart. I rushed to my car to put my purchases away and I returned to help this lady get to her car. She said she was 97 years old and her son was out of town and he is the one who helps her. She was very thankful for the assist. Of all that took place yesterday, my time with this elderly woman was the best time.

And speaking of you beautiful help, wow 97 years old going shopping all by herself, that is amazing. Thank you for helping her, and thank you for sharing your feelings.
