Yesterday, as I approached the front door of our public library, a white haired gentleman stepped back to hold the door for me.  You see, I have to go everywhere these days with a walker, and folks are constantly holding or opening doors for me, so this was not unusual.

However, I told the gentleman that the door had an automatic opener, and he did not need to stay to hold it open.  He said, “Here I thought I would have an opportunity to be helpful. ”

At that, I backed up, let the door close, and allowed him to reopen the door, not using the automatic control this time.  His comment then was “Well, now I feel like that I have accomplished something helpful and worthwhile today. ”

We never know how someone else is feeling.  We seniors seem to feel we can take care of ourselves at all times.  That random act of kindness brightened not only my day, but to my joy and delight, also the day of that white-haired senior citizen.  I felt a glow for the rest of the day, and, hopefully, so did he!

So, gentle readers, never hesitate to offer kindness.  You may find to your amazement that there is more kindness in your community than you ever believe possible.
