I wonder if we could have a thread for general acts of kindness that we come across? The aim is to share some good news and celebrate the goodness of others.

Re: Kindnesss thread
Wonderful idea!
"When a wildfire swept across Western Australia, a pair of veterinarians and their nurses elected to stay at their clinic to give free medical care to animals left behind."

Re: Kindnesss thread
One day I was in one of our dollar stores and I was waiting in line to pay for something. It was the end of the month and money was short. When it was my turn to pay I was told that the man in front of me had paid for mine. He had already left and I couldn't thank him. One day not that long ago I was in that same store. There was a man behind me who had a couple of bags of ramen noodles. We started talking and he told me that it was all he could afford. I decided to pass along the kindness that had been shown to me and bought the man's food. This gave him the ability to go back, which he did, and got a few more things. Kindness both the giving and receiving of it, is such a beautiful thing! It does the heart good.

“Anything I can do to make these kids smile is awesome,” Classen told the Washington Post. “So whenever they’re happy, it just makes my day.”
