Random Acts of Kindness

The first person who stopped was a young man who jumped out of his ute and said "on the count of 1,2, 3 Up" and helped lift me to my feet. Thank you so much and with a friendly smile and a wave he was off.

The next who came to help were a couple from Oyster Bay who were so kind and drove us home - my eternal gratitude to you both.

I've ditched the ripped jeans and thongs.

I'm sorry I didn't get your names. I am deeply humbled by the kindness of these strangers.

I would like to thank the person at Bexley North who found my bag with phone, glasses and house keys. I lost them in a thunderstorm when my umbrella blew out.

I went back and found the bag tied up in a great place. Again my thanks to the person who found the bag.

On October 14 after doing a very large shop at Coles Sylvania I was very surprised and very thankful when the lady in the queue behind me offered to unload my groceries up to the cashier and then place them all five bags back in the trolley what a wonderful gesture I'm very grateful and hope she reads this note thank you.

On October 9 I put $50 worth of petrol at the Caltex station on the Princes Highway at Kogarah. To my utter embarrassment I realised I'd left my wallet at home when I went to pay. While I was explaining the situation to the cashier a lovely lady offered to pay for the petrol. She declined my offers to deliver the cash to her that afternoon and asked simply that I 'pay it forward'. I will and thank you once again Rose.
