Today was my day to
volunteer at the senior center. While in the bathroom, an older lady that I know was washing her hands, while also trying to balance herself and hold onto her cane. She was struggling a bit as she recently had hip surgery.
After she finished washing her hands, I could tell she was trying to navigate the cane, with wet hands to spin around and get to where the automatic towel machine was. So I went to it first, waved my hands so it would spit out the paper towel and then handed it to her. It's such a small thing, but she was grateful. Not a huge thing, but a little bit of kindness for the day!
