Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Best friends


--by Nixa, posted Feb 24, 2007

I have decided to try out at least one weekly act of kindness.

My best friend has not been feeling very well so I convinced her to come with me to a workshop of handcraft jewerly - a simple thing just for fun.

Do you remember when we were kids and we could spend hours making little things for us or for others, with no other value than the beauty of love, creativity and fun? That's how we spent our morning, yesterday, in this workshop.

When it was over, I finally saw a big smile on her face that I haven't seen that much lately. She enjoyed it so much she decided to get herself some materials and go home and do little things for the entire family!

Although we know each other very well, she doesn't know I did this to see her smile. I decided not to tag her and instead do it with someone else I have in mind. But maybe life puts a stranger on my way this next week. I'll be attentive!
