When I was a wee girl, I experienced some life changing acts of kindness. With my family, my mother, friends and complete strangers. It changed my life and how I see things.
Don't get me wrong. I have that little person on my shoulder at times that put's me somewhere else I'd rather not be.
Today, I was feeling a bit low. Wanting to let that little person out, wanting to be throwing my self pity at others in an ungrateful way. I am after all, human.
Then I went out for a bit by myself. I just walked around a local shopping centre and watched people. I saw some young ladies busy at work. Not enough staff for the business and I guessed they didn't get a break to eat or sip tea.
So, I walked over to a local grocery store and bought them dinner. I walked in, dropped it off and gently put my index finger to my lips when a customer saw what I did. Gave her a wink and walked away. Not soon enough to hear one of the girls yell "thank you"!
My heart skipped a beat and a smile spread across my face. That's how I changed my perspective today.
