This is a very heartwarming account of someone's kindness, and I am very glad you wrote about it. :-) Isn't it amazing how the simplest things can make us feel so much better about life as a whole?
I thought of you last night when I was watching a show about Vegas and the casinos.
Written in a very personal and warm style. I enjoyed it.
Hugs,
Jan

Thank you, dear Jan. Yes, this act of altruism impressed me so much that not only did I have to write about it, but to put it on the first page of available releases (smile) for a lot of people to see. Speaking of Las Vegas, I won a Jackpot last Friday ($1,670.00) - my biggest one! I guess works sometimes. Love, Yelena

I meant, Vegas works sometimes.

Good for you! :-) That is wonderful.

Excellent writing. I wish this sort of thing would happen more often. Unfortunately, I think most people are "too busy" to think of others.

The powerful affect of a small token of kindness can never be underestimated. You have hit on a sociological phenomenon we deal with every day - everyone is competing with you for everything. People will cut you off on the road or in line to get ahead of you. Why? Because they can. When someone shows that human beings are also capable of cooperative behavior as well as competitive, it truly is inspirational. Very nice story.

A small act of kindness goes a long way. I hope this is autobiographical because I am very glad it gave an extra kick to your day. Good post.

I am so happy you encountered such a person in your daily walk. There are many more out there, you just have to look. Great story that filled my heart with warm fuzzies. Good job.

What a lovely little story about one of the many moments that we often take for granted. One simple act of kindness.

Yeltel,
With so much hate and violence in the world today - which is also reflected in our literature - it's nice to see a happy story that we can walk away from feeling good. Sometimes it's just the simple things that brighten our day.
I found nothing here that needed correction.
Thank you for sharing this,
Chris

Sometimes all it takes is a small, random act of kindness to affect us and make us see the world through a whole new set of eyes. It sounds as though that is what happened to you, Yeltel. I'm happy for you and thank you for sharing your experience with us. I found your story enjoyable to read and easy to understand. I would recommend it to others for reading and reviewing.
Yours,
Luna *smile*

Thank you, dear Luna, for this astounding review. Of all reviews I've received this hit a nail on the head with such precision, that I am impressed by your perception, your depth, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Yes, you are SO right - what well chosen words - "it takes a small, random act of kindness to affect us and make us see the world through a whole new set of eyes.". I did!! And I feel alive again.
