A woman boarded the train with 2 small babies, one in a double stroller and the other on her hip. My friend and I got up and offered her our seats so she could sit comfortably with her little ones. We’re technically senior citizens but able-bodied, so the bonus is we get to feel younger than we are 🙂

I made soup for a good friend who’s fighting through his 4th round of cancer related surgery and for my youngest son who recently had a bad fall and badly dislocated his shoulder.
Food is my love language and how I show people I care for them.

Everyone is sharing what kindness they have spread I would like to share what kindness I am receiving and give them a token of appreciation. Yesterday while I was driving to my home I forgot to take a document from my friend( Praful Dobariy). When I cald him and asked him are you at home so that I can come and pickup the documents. So he is like you don’t come 4Miles inside the lane I will come and hand over you in your way. He came all the way to give me the documents without hesitating. Surprisingly I didn’t asked him for the favour he did it by himself selflessly.

I gave 10 dollars to the first person I saw in the supermarket using reusable bags before Governor Murphy made it mandatory.
I would say to them as I handed them the money ‘Thank you for making my day and helping our environment’.

I saw “pay toll for the car behind you”
I once paid the toll for the car *ahead* of me!
Back in the days when the Garden State Parkway took tokens, I used tokens all the time. One day I was not in the token-only lane but had been herded into the cash lane, which accepted tokens. The car in front of me had a Quebec license plate. So they handed their paper money to the collector who handed it back, shaking his head. I realize that they tried to pay with Canadian money, which is not accepted. So I tapped my horn and held up TWO tokens to the collector and waved to say, “Let them through. I’ll pay.” He let them through and I paid.

On 14th Street subway station in NYC, a lady was looking to get some help with moving her cart full of trinkets (for selling) up over the stairs. Just ended up giving her a hand and realized this cart was her means to earning her living—proudly and likely, feeding her whole family.
Julie Swenson – USA
I was driving down a neighborhood road when I saw an elderly woman trying to bring her large garbage cans in from the street. I pulled over and helped her bring them in from the street. I’m sure she appreciated it, but I also had my teenage daughter with me, and I wanted to show her that we are not too busy, or too cool, to give someone a helping hand.
Allen – Michigan
Smile and say hi to someone.

Traveling around Europe this Summer, my family and I experienced kindness (& patience) from the locals who were able to help us navigate the intricate public transportation system and travel from city to city!
