Valentine's decoration in the Via Sacro Cuore.
I was having a good morning till I went into the bank. I hate the places at the best of times and at the worst of times they really scare me! Today I was not happy to be told that it is going to take them ten working days to clear a cheque and I was feeling very disgruntled by the time I'd acquired some heavy shopping and was on my way to work.
Then a dear elderly chap whom I often see and who has always greeted me effusively, though I don't know his name and I'm sure he doesn't know mine, insisted on carrying my shopping bag down the street to the school, although he was really headed in the other direction. My mood and the day suddenly became sunny.
A little kindness really can help in more ways than we can imagine.

A little kindness does indeed go along way, and can mean more than a big gift..Bless him, he just wanted to be friendly and helpful, I am sure it meant a lot to him to do it. :-)
