support her as the distance to the T-mobile store was further than she thought. Of course I agreed to help.
She said she is really good at reading people and faces and could tell I was kind and have a kind heart.

that she would look for someone to walk her back when she was done. I immediately offered to go retrieve her car and drive it around for. She said she trusted me but was concerned it was taking too much of my time. I assured her it was no problem and retrieved her car and serendipitously found a

spot in front of T-Mobile. She was almost tearful and told me to grab one of the Lily plants from her car for my garden, assuring me she had bought two. I let her she still had two and she could call on me anytime she sees me. She said my kindness “glows bright.”
Anyway, her saying such nice

things to me and offering me a lily plant were the sweetest thing in the world and I was so pleased to have been met with such random kindness today.
Sooooo, don’t get overwhelmed with the negativity.
There are beautiful people out there and one of them just shed her light on me!
Peace

Puck, I absolutely love this. Thank you for sharing this little moment with us tonight!

As intimidating as you might look on the outside, this lady certainly read your inner self and was 100% right about you. You do have a kind heart. 💜

I appreciate you, Puck.

This an affirmation that the elderly can look right through us and hone in directly into the heart. She picked you, and you showed her exactly why she picked you, “a heart of gold” 💛💫

This is such a kind thing to say, Carmen. I’m still a work in progress, to be sure. But this woman, Benni, is a treasure. I sure hope our paths cross again. Have a wonderful night.

Wonderful story, thanks for sharing.
It should never be remarkable that a human helped another human, but it is.
So for all those who do help in whatever way, it matters, you did a great and loving thing.

Thank you, Carla! I shared it because it seems like the negative get so much coverage and yet small miracles happening every day get overlooked. I hope by sharing that we can all look a little harder and find and celebrate the kindness! It’s out there just waiting to be recognized!

Your actions with the elderly woman matches the spirit you show us with your words here. I'm sure that same spirit allows people to see ALL of you in the flesh.

I’m happy that you were the recipient of such kind words today. But honestly, the way you described yourself physically, is almost just as I always imagined you looked - ruggedly handsome with a kind heart.
