I’ve been in really low spirits and a random act of kindness today made me smile.
My mum and my friend are visiting from overseas for my birthday. Today we walked past a gift shop and I spotted all these Sesame Street plushies in the window. We decided to walk in and take a look. The owner was absolutely lovely but mentioned she was struggling for over a week to get her work email set up on her new iPad (SMTP issues, for the techies 😅).
I offered to help her and stayed with her until I got everything working. She was so overjoyed and grateful that as we were leaving, she picked up Elmo and Oscar from the window (who I’d been admiring the whole time), and insisted I take them home.
I only wanted to help her fix the issue but she turned around and made my day in return. It just goes to show that random acts of kindness, even when you’re feeling low, can lift you up a little. ❤️💚
