Last week I witnessed a lady help an elderly person carry some groceries out of the store It was obvious the two did not know each other. The look of appreciation from the elderly woman was priceless. I also recognized the younger lady as a provider, although I've never met her.
Anyway, I started thinking about the ladies I have met and the posts we read here and one thing stands out in my mind. Although this is a business, it seems the majority of providers do have extremely big hearts and performing a simple random act of kindness is completely natural to them.
So, to this lovely lady, she knows who she is, thank you. You reminded me of something I was taught early in life:
"Do something nice for someone everyday of your life, however small, and you'll be a happier person." (Mom)
And to all of you who do make it a practice to perform random acts of kindness - Thank You

I also think it's because we're in a business that alienates us from society ( fear of being judged, etc, having society's negativity) that might make providers especially open to helping others with kindness because sometimes, we're not shown the same kindness or respect as others in society. But that's just me.
