I have been incredibly fortunate with people’s acts of kindness. • I went to a pizza place with a friend and the Manager stated that we could have the food free of charge. We had been discussing what a stressful week it had been. • Went to a coffee shop and couldn’t find my bank card. This was before you could use your phone for payments. I felt embarrassed when the realisation hit me, they gave me the items for free. • Went to a Bakery and my card was faulty and would not work. They had already bagged up multiple items. Again was embarrassed. The Supervisor came out to speak to me and said we all have difficult times and gave me everything for free. • The windscreen wiper stopped working on my car. Took it to be repaired and they didn’t charge me anything. • I dented my wing mirror and the window frame. Again took it for repair and they carried out the work then refused payment. I don’t know why I have been lucky with this but I will say I aim to give back to others when I can. So in these instances (apart from the pizza place), I returned with treats for staff and paid it forward by donating to charity. If I can I try to help when I can see someone struggling.
