Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Kindness for Kindness


--by overeducatedtexa, posted Nov 30, 2017
I don’t consider myself a touchy-feely, feel-good sort of person. I’m more into hit-and-run acts of kindness—that thing where you do something nice then run away before the recipient realizes what’s just happened. 

We sold our pet sitter one of our old cars and hold the note on it and today we’re going to let him know that we are closing the loan out early because he’s so good with our animals, and dependable, and kind, and just needs a break. Except that we’re going to do it a letter that we hand him as we are walking out the door. That way we can avoid the whole awkward ‘Thank you’ thing. Because it isn’t about being thanked, it’s about lifting someone else’s burden, even for just a minute.
