Sorry that this post is one day late. Maybe my good deed sometime soon will be learning how to organize my life. I doubt it though, that would take more than a day or a year so for now, I will apologize and tell you about my random act of kindness yesterday.
I was at Tim Hortons (quite a regular spot for me actually) and I held the door open for an elderly man and woman. I let them go in front of me in line, and then I helped them carry their tray to their table. They were extremely grateful, which I don't find so much in younger people these days.
Most people of my age group receiving a kindness wither ignore it, think I am hitting on them, or give me a dirty look. I will continue to be kind to all age groups though, and maybe teach a few people to let go of their misconceptions by example.
To be clear, if I open the door for you, bring in your garbage bin from the road, or buy you a coffee or apple, I am not presuming you can't do it on your own, I am not mentally unstable, and I do not want to marry you. I want you to smile, say thank you, and have a better day because someone went out of their way for you.l
