KINDNESS
“HERE IS YOUR HELMET…HAPPY HOLIDAY…”
A stranger cares!
Walking out of my house, I saw families and group people excitedly preparing to visit their hometown for holiday. The thought of being reunited, and all that warm hugs delights the loving feeling within me. I took my motorbike and went to my favorite shop, feeling loved. After riding for some minutes, my helmet fell off…I stopped the bike on the edge of the road to go back and pick it.
As I was walking to where my helmet fell, a lady is already holding it and handed it to me …She smiled and said “happy holiday…”
A stranger cares!
Kindness happens everyday, either done by people around us or ourselves. A simple act of kindness can make a person’s day.
Hope you have a great holiday! And yes, don’t forget to do random acts of kindness with a stranger or take a step back to observe it around you.
Love
