My Newest (Acts of Kindness Challenge)

The more I thought about the good things people do, the more I've come to realize how many times I made someones day brighter. Just last Thursday during break, a couple coworkers were talking about what they like to order, and which restaurant.
One was talking about a mac/cheese bowl from AppleBees, that her daughter loves.
Well, it happened to be my anniversary at work, and one of the gifts I received was an AppleBee card. I handed it to her and said "here, take your daughter out to lunch, or dinner". She handed it back, and said she can't accept it because it was my anniversary. After I said I would love for her to have it, and that I don't really go out to eat much, did she accept it back. I told her I wanted her to be able to take her daughter out to eat (she doesn't get to see her everyday).
Even on what was meant to be a special day for me, I will still give to others. Unbeknownst to me, I ended up actually having 2-3 more. I was given a bunch of various cards, so was not aware :-) . Even if I am struggling to make myself a lunch, I will give my small lunch to someone else that is hungry. I know from personal experience, what being hungry feels like.

Thanks for your second story @pixiehunter, keep them coming :-) and hopefully they spread more of that generous goodness you talk about here in your post.

Oh my wheels are turning right now, lol. Yes, I too hope they spread. I don't know if others realize, even small things they do, can have a huge impact. As for my coworker, I believe her act was fostering a 4 year old pit/mix. She is nurturing him back to health and then find a great home for him, or he would have been put down.

yes that is SO true and great to hear about your coworker....fostering and/or giving a good home to an animal is such a great example of how win-win kindness is since animals give back so much! I'm a great lover of pitties and had one who died a few years ago so I especially love hearing about someone helping a pitbull!

Very nice of you to spread your gift card wealth! Reminds me that one thing you can do to use your SBD or Steem is to buy Gift Cards at gyft.com and they have loads of different cards there. Some find this easier than going through Coinbase or some other fiat gateway. Have a good day at work tomorrow!

It always leaves me such a great feeling. I've been on the giving side most of my life. I love to see people smile.
