Be grateful for random acts of kindness
I meant to post this yesterday but got side tracked into other things and then had to call it a day as it got close to midnight. But will post my gratitude list for yesterday as well.
So many things to be grateful for yesterday revolving around buses:

Be grateful for random acts of kindness
I meant to post this yesterday but got side tracked into other things and then had to call it a day as it got close to midnight. But will post my gratitude list for yesterday as well.
So many things to be grateful for yesterday revolving around buses:
- A cheery bus driver with a smiling face and a happy greeting (and the driver today was sullen and impatient - I almost fell down he started the bus so quickly)
- The bus arriving on time yesterday morning (the bus was 15 mins late today)
- A random act of kindness - the bus driver waited for me to catch the bus home otherwise I would've had to wait another 1/2 hour at least in the dark. Not something I like doing.
Some other things to be grateful for yesterday:
- A very warm jacket on a very cold day
- Lots of support from fellow bloggers
- Blogspot forum where we can post questions
- Very grateful for the replies I got on my posted question
And some things to be grateful for today:
- Glad it wasn't raining when the fire alarm went off at work
- Glad my new water boiler got installed today - no more worrying if the water will suddenly turn cold in the middle of a shower
- Glad the plumber fixed my shower as well though it wasn't part of the deal.
I am truly grateful for random acts of kindness.

These random acts of kindness really make life worthwhile sometimes...The heart feels so good na? In all the commotion and rush for life, these are the things that make the difference..
ReplyDeleteRandom Thoughts Naba - Trivialize No More!...
They sure do Naba,.A random act of kindness gives more joy than a planned ones.
DeleteRandom acts of kindness makes you happy. :)
ReplyDeleteThey sure do. Thanks Lancelot for visiting.
DeleteSo many great random acts of kindness! And I like the idea of writing down what you're grateful for, it makes you more aware and appreciative.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does Salma. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteJust being grateful for the little things can make us happy. Glad you shared these, Suzy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha. It is all the little things put together that make up the big things.
DeleteHi, Suzy! ~
ReplyDeleteYour gratitude list makes me smile -- Thank you for sharing! Hope you're having a GREAT day today!
Thanks Linda. Glad my list made you smile, Have an awesome day.

ReplyDeleteRicha
Thanks Richa. I hope you'll finish your post so we can read it.
DeleteI'll be writing another post on gratitude next week. I hear you when it comes to bus drivers. A good one can make your day. A surly one - ruin it! When I draw a good one, I always say "thank you" when I get off the bus! Alana
ReplyDeleteThanks Alana. Yep happy drivers do make us smile and yes I thank them too.
DeleteWorld can surely use more of such kind bus drivers and plumbers! Thanks Suzy for reminding us there is so much goodness in the world if only we care to look closely and keep that attitude of gratefulness and kindness.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beloo. There is truly goodness in the world. We've just conditioned ourselves to look at the negative side. Time to change and focus on all the good.
DeleteRemember that movie "Pay it Forward" ? I think that best epitomises the concept of random acts of kindness. Just a single selfless deed can really start a chain reaction, I feel... its just a matter of following through and passing it on someone else..
ReplyDeleteSo true Roshan. We need to pass the kindness baton around and not hold onto it.
DeleteWhat lovely bus driver to have waited for you. That really is the humane aspect of our existence. Oh and can you share the Blogspot forum link? Sounds like a good support group.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shailaja. Was so thankful he waited. The blogger forum is a good one. Posted the link on your FB post.
DeleteA good bus driver makes quite a difference. :) It was impressive how quickly your forum questions were answered, Suzy. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie. Yes, the forum replies are very prompt. It's a great place to get answers when in doubt.
DeleteSmall acts of kindness and small blessings can make such a big difference! :)
ReplyDeleteSure can Shilpa.
DeleteI remember when I commuted by bus every day - it's amazing the difference the little things make to your ride! And pleasant drivers are one of the most important.
ReplyDeleteSo true Laurel. It's the little things that make a big difference.
DeleteHi Suzy - as a bus driver I would have given you a smile and waited for you ~ Eddie
ReplyDeleteAww that's sweet Eddie.
DeleteSo many things to be grateful for! You know sometimes a smile or random act of kindness is all it takes to warm the heart and let us feel we can go on with this life. ♥
ReplyDeleteSo true Kathy. Sometimes just a smile gives us the strength to go on.
