Kindness: What Would You Do?

A touching blogpost about a simple act of kindness seen earlier this week in Creve Coeur got us thinking.

I hope you had a chance to read what Jill Farmer posted in Patch Local Voices earlier this week about a rainy trip to the St. Louis Bread Company.

"To the young woman working at St. Louis Bread Company who patiently encouraged the elderly customer to put his wallet away when he tried to pay you again for his dinner... and to the well-dressed woman who followed this gentleman around the parking lot with your umbrella in the cold rain while he searched for his car (your idea to use the key fob to make the horn honk was a winner):

Thank you for reminding us that kindness is always the right choice."

That got me thinking...what would you do. Do you still see people opening the door for others who might appear to need a hand? Do you do it yourself?

In this era of people being so busy that sometimes it doesn't feel like we have a second to breathe, let alone go out of our way to help a stranger, I'd love to hear from you. When's the last time you saw what we might define as a random act of kindness, or were responsible for one? Tell me in the comments, or share your experience through a post in Local Voices.
