A Neighbourly Moment of Kindness

--by iferlamb, posted Sep 25, 2010

My husband and I have a neighbor who has recently started planting flowers around her place. We've noticed that she has been using a jug to water them.

Yesterday, on an impulse, I bought a watering can for her while I was at the store.

I hadn't decided how best to give it to her as we don't really know each other that well. Then she brought her jug over to the water hose we share.

Well, there was my opportunity. I said, "Hi! We picked something up for you," and I handed her the watering can.

She was really happy and thanked us with a big smile!

We went inside and my husband said "Well, that got a smile."

I said, "Exactly! That's what it's all about."
