Stories of Kindness from Around the World

My Day Of Giving Back


--by splain, posted Dec 24, 2016
I had a lovely day of giving today. The people at the post office are run off their feet. Some people were being rude, annoying and intolerant because there was a long line.

But the post office has such helpful and nice people. So today I went to the shops and bought so many boxes of good chocolate. Went back and gave this big bag to them. They were so happy and said no one had done this for them. I said, "you so deserve to be rewarded for what you have to put up with. As I walked away I heard one of them say " I have never received anything like this" I was glad to give to them but sad to think no one had done this before. Christmas should be a time of goodwill, kindness and patience.

Then I thought now my hairdresser. Such a delightful man and he keeps my hair looking great. So  I gave him a big bag of chocolates and a great big chocolate cake. He loved it. And I loved it. Makes this Christmas feel just right.
