Acts of Kindness

These things really make me happy, if I am already happy it just makes me want to cry out and dance (badly). I don’t know why they happen and if they happen to you (they probably do), but they happen; once in a wile someone with out beings asked too gives you something or performs a kind act. Such an event always leaves me speechless and with butterflies of joy in my stomach.

But I guess to most of them you have to pay attention to notice and appreciate them. So keep your eyes open and remember “give and you shall receive”.

Friday the 4th of December
I was sitting in the train and out of nowhere the women next to me offers me her newspaper, which was strangely enough what I wanted. So it was given to me without me asking for it, a strange sensation. Even though it was just a newspaper, the gesture was – as they say – a heart warming one.



Monday the 7th of December
A Girl a barely know gives me my name in chocolate letters because only an hour before I told here that I didn’t get one with ‘Sinterklaas’. I didn’t know what say; nobody has ever done something like that for me before. Not only did this make me feel happy beyond belief, but also made a few questions rise up in my mind: Do I deserve this? Am I this kind? How can she be so kind? Is it just me, because she likes me, or is she this kind to everybody?
I don’t know the answers to these questions, I might never know. But just asking myself these questions makes the gift even more valuable.
