Simple Acts of Kindness

Yesterday at work, a lady who I had just served at the checkout smiled at me and handed me back a box of Ferrero Rocher, saying 'these are for the staff'. My heart melted. After a morning of being understaffed and vented at by agitated customers, one individual made the choice to do something kind. It made me think about all the seemingly small things we can easily do for others to make their day. 

1. Be polite to frontline workers 
2. Buy only what you need, saving enough for others 
3. Stay indoors if you are able to, protecting the vulnerable 
4. Let the person with fewer items in the queue go first 
5. Text a friend who might be lonely (even if it's just 'good morning'!)
6. Offer to buy your elderly/vulnerable neighbour's shopping (if you are well enough!)
7. Take the time to write an email to somebody you've lost contact with
8. Water your plants
9. Ring family that live away
10. Write a positive comment on a website you love *ahem* 
11. Support your local food bank
12. Write a letter to a care home resident
13. Use your skills to help others

What is the kindest thing that somebody has ever done for you?
