Handed out a number of waterproof and warm high-vis jackets to the homeless in Sydney’s CBD during a particularly rainy week in July. Was so nice to see their kind smiles of thanks
On my son’s 16th birthday when we were buying him a treat at the bakery, an elderly lady was looking in the display cabinet. I asked which one she was choosing & she said they were quite expensive. I told her I would buy her two. She declined but I told her I felt so lucky that I was celebrating my beautiful son’s birthday with him that it would make us both so happy to buy her cakes. We both had tears – and she happily accepted. It was a lovely moment to share with the lady and my son.
It was not me it was my 11 year old daughter. She is in a dance troop at school and one of the students missed a competition. When they were giving out medals at school the next week for the competition the girl who missed the competition was very upset as she was not receiving any medals.
My daughter secretly placed one of her medals from that competition into the bag of the girl who was upset. That made me really proud of her – and her generous spirit. Even nicer that she did it so unobtrusively – she did not want any recognition or acknowledgement for the act of kindness, she just wanted to make the other girl less upset.
We gave all the teachers a coffee or tea with a kind note on it.
Making raspberry jam and my 5 year old son giving his school crossing man Rob a jar!
