Yesterday, I went to a local hardware store to get a replacement bulb for a light that had blown. The shop assistant told me that they had never stocked this type of bulb, but I was adamant I had purchased it at the store previously! Altogether there were three shop assistants helping me trying to find what I was looking for. They were so helpful and tolerant as I explained the bulb and its fitting, but in the end I said I would go home and double check.
Turns out I was wrong! The bulb I needed was not what I thought and the store had it all along, so I returned today with some peace doves and gave one to the only assistant I could find who had helped me. I apologized and we had a laugh about my mistake. He wasn't too sure what to say when I gave him the peace dove, but he asked what it was and I explained that I wanted to give it to him for being so kind and helpful, and that they came all the way from the USA.
This is the first time I've actually given one directly to someone I don't know for a genuine act of kindness and it felt so good knowing that I could do this. Growing more and more each day :)
