Every now and again people come into our lives and their words and/or actions make a huge difference in life .... random acts of kindness meaning so little but meaning so much.
At the weekend Morbius and I were treated by a member of the swinging community to something we'd previously expressed an interest in but the cost prohibited us. This person after finding they couldn't go gave us tickets to see Bon Jovi at Milton Keynes. We had a wonderful day which was helped by fabulous weather.
Then secondly, this morning just as I was setting off to my new job the postman delivered a beautiful bouquet of flowers and chocolates. They are a thank you for some kindness we showed someone else recently. (And they weren't necessary, thanks had already been accepted but thank you).
Then through the day I've had a couple of texts off people wishing me good luck for the job.
These things made me realise just how much this community looks out for it's own, how much the people here mean to me (and us) and so I want to say a public thanks to them, although i'm not going to name them because they may not wish to be named.

If you only but knew
I can say with authirity that on this site, random acts of kindness have saved lives.
enough said. (its all in another thraed)
What a super thread!!! Without wanting to sound like a tit I wanted to say that I think these acts of kindness much more important that we realise sometimes. I escorted a very frail lady (in her slippers bless her!) back to her house when I met her at the shop during my lunch hour a couple of weeks ago. She told me her carer hadn't turned up and she had taken the long walk to the shop only to buy 3 Cadbury's Cream Eggs because her grandaughter was visiting her the next day! I may have been the only person spoke to that day, or made her feel like somebody cares, or not all young people are bad etc - my point is you don't have to do a massive 'thing' to change the world, small deeds are underestimated.
I can't even remember the real point I was trying to make because there is so much I want to say on this subject (what's new!). I don't think I've mentioned it before on here (
) but I have been a Buddhist for about 7 years now and practising generosity is highly encouraged for many reasons which I won't bore you with now.
I loved the film Pay It Forward... it shows what we are capable of if only we all tried just a little.
A big for anyone out there that has ever done anything for somebody else, no matter how small, without expecting or getting anything in return.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

There is a report that states that people involved in voluntary and charity work live longer. Perhaps it is their open and giving nature that overcomes many of the health problems that can lay others low.
Sorry I do not think that an open and giving nature has that much to do with it. Perhaps it is the fact that they have found something to live for and are happy. Happyness does help you to live longer.
This is such a nice thread!!!
This morning I stopped for an elderly lady to offer her a lift
both her wrists were heavily bandaged one with a wrist cast, her leg was bandaged & she was walking with a stick.
Being well aware that my presence may be intimidating towards her I kept my distance & asked her if I could help her by giving her a lift to her destination & that I would be glad to assist.
She said no thank you & hardly looked me in the eye... no problem I thought.
But then the memories of another elderly lady who bless her cotton socks tried to help me lift my Honda ST1100 motorbike after it rolled off it's side-stand when parked up on some melting tarmac!!!
Bless random acts of kindness & all those who still have the humanity left in them to act & help another without seeking reward! :thumbup: :cheers:

Glad you liked the flowers!
I know they weren't necessary but you and Morbius really have helped me out - not so long ago and a little while ago - In fact, since I've known you both!
I like making people feel happy with random acts of kindness. It makes me feel good to know that I've helped someone or put a smile on their face. I quite often send cards and gifts to those I value and love. Some see it as a waste of money or time or whatever but it's not a waste if it puts a smile on someone's face
Nice thread Calista..... making me think about those random acts of kindness others have shown to me

Recently.... Someone special held me together when I fell to bits. Just a cuddle and letting me ramble on with myself made so much difference to my day and my life.
Earlier that day a very kind man saw me crying previously and when I was at the petrol station my wages (in spite of getting my slip) hadn't gone in, so I was stood there with no means of paying for it. He kindly asked me how I was cos he'd seen me cry. When I thanked him for his concern and mentioned I needed to make a phone call because my wages hadn't gone in, he handed me a £20 note and when I asked for his address to post it back to him, he insisted on taking me for a swift half of lager instead. My knight in shining armour that day, he helped me more than he'll ever realise.

What a lovely thread Calista
I think these random acts of kindness are something that we see regularly in this community-it's one of the things that makes it great (apart from the sex of course ;) )
Very often it's the little things that a person does-usually without even thinking about it- even something as small as a text message of support that can make a difference to someone else's day.
Long may it continue
