A story
Yesterday, we were at the grocery story doing the usual shop. Since the temperatures are dropping down we thought to get this done as soon as we could.
While we were waiting for our turn to pay, we notice this 'young' lady. She didn't have money for what ever reason to purchase her meager groceries. This 'young' lady, was going to walk home (having no money for a taxi) with her walker, which she said was an hours walk. The weather was very cold, -13c with a Wind Chill of -22c. She was wearing a hat that barely covered her ears, and nothing on her hands!
There were caring people who not only offered to sit and wait with her, but purchased a few of her groceries, gave her gloves, and a warm safe ride home.
She had tears glistening in her eyes, and said there are angels, guardian angles looking out for her. She also told this couple she was to be a Great-Great-Grandmother.
These people, did this caring act of kindness, not for Face Book recognition, not just because its cold, or because she is one of our treasured seniors, because that is just what you do. You look out for each other.
It doesn't matter whether its Christmas or not, very hot or very cold temperatures... we all need to care.. we all need to be that Guardian Angel.
Can you imagine if everyone did something kind, at no cost each day!

Care (fun with editing) |
This photo is a selfie I took with Mao, our cat. He and I have known each other for about 5 years now. He looks after us, he cares for us...and we him.
Enjoying Life, One Sip at a Time!
We all should be that Guardian Angel!
See you tomorrow!

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever a wasted effort. Of course, being kind is self-explanatory and can be expressed in a variety of different ways. From opening a door or something more elaborate it has a greater impact then you may think. In Truth it is one of the greatest attributes one can have, for the best and most beautiful things in the world are felt with the heart. Where ever there is a human being there is an opportunity for an act of kindness. Kindness is like a passport that opens doors and creates beauty in today’s society.
