Met a man named Paul today and his lovely little dog Rosie, sat on the bridge in Newbury. I gave him some money and spent a few minutes talking to him and petting Rosie. My last Random Act of Kindness for the list, but def won't be my last act of kindness ;-)
At the Il Divo concert there was a poor man outside as we all filed out onto the streets, begging. I decided to go and talk to him and give him a bit of money towards getting a hot drink / something to eat. I found out his name was Edward and that he had been homeless for 15 years! I think I was the only person who actually took time to stop and talk to him. Most either ignored him, or just put a few coins in his hat. Wish I could have done more!
2) Today we visited our local Dogs Trust and donated a load of old towels and sheets, instead of just sending them for recycling! It did take a bit of persuading mum to part with them, but feels great knowing that they are helping some animals, instead of spilling out our linen / towel cupboard!
I'm doing a 'pay it forward' challenge. Sending 5 people from my facebook or blog a gift before the end of 2014! They have to join the fun and do the same for 5 people too! I have 3 people so far
