Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Thoughtful Act Turns a Day Around

I am sharing a letter I wrote to the kind lady in produce at the grocery store by my house. She had offered to make a mixed pack up for us on the spot after informing me there were none left and seeing the look of fluster on my face... she packed it full of veggies, fruit, and more, and went above and beyond!! Gratitude for her warm smile and her thoughtful act of kindness <3 

I gave the following  letter to her, handwritten in a lovely card, which included a $5.00 Tim Hortons gift card and a Smile Card! :)

"Yesterday was my sons track and field meet at school... and as it was also my payday - I hadn't had any funds left the night before to get him healthy 'snack food' that would fuel him throughout the big day.

So yesterday morning, (after missing my alarm, stubbing my toe, and cleaning up an entire pot of soil from a potted plant that our new kitten had knocked over during the night), we scrambled to Sobey's to get a mix-pack (veggies and dip, grapes, and crackers and cheese) - the quick and easy pre-packaged healthy snack that would solve all of my problems! However, when we got there, there were none left, and I drew a blank.

On a morning that was steadily turning out to be "one of those mornings where everything goes wrong"... your thoughtful act of kindness turned our faces to the sunlight and filled us both with gratitude!

Thank you!
We will be paying the good vibes forward and extending the ripples of kindness 😊

Keep your love light shinin' "
