When was the last time you did a random act of kindness? When was the last time someone did it for you?
We walk early in the morning. It is still dark. Along the way, we walk the newspaper to the resident’s front door. The majority of my neighborhood are elderly and up. Also, if we see a mailbox door open, we will shut it. If there is trash or recycle can out, and the lid is uncovered, we tend to close that when there is a high chance of rain. We have moved cans back to the front of the house from the road.
We do it for no other reason.
A couple down the street have been trying to find out who has been doing this. A neighbor two doors down, who we know, saw us in passing and told them it was us.
Today, as I waited at the end of the driveway, I hear the newspaper hit the door, but soon I hear voices. Looking in that direction, I see a woman, and soon her husband joins her as he called me over.
My husband asked them what were they doing up so early? Apparently, according to them, they have been getting up early for a few days trying to catch us.
They wanted to personally thank us by giving me a bouquet of sweet-smelling red carnations and my husband a nice water bottle.
I immediately teared up. We were both surprised at the tenderness of this couple and the sweet nature. Not to forget, they got up early for days to catch us since they did not know where we lived.
This has made my day and will make it more days after.
