“Lift is like a ten spe.

of us have gears we never use.

andom acts of kindness are those little sweet or grand lovely things we do for no reason except chat,
momenrarily, rhe best of our humanity has sprung, exquisitely inco full bloom.”
Daphne Rose Kingma from the book “Random Acts of Kindness”, Conari Press

Sometimes it seems that our goodwill is all
expended during the Christmas season.
Food bank hampers are filled, families are
“adopted” through the Christmas Bureau
and thoughtful gifts are exchanged. But
what about the rest of the year? Here are a
few simple ways you could brighten
someone's day with an act of kindness.

Parking
* Quay

* Hand your shopping cart to someone in
the grocery store parking Jot, without

taking their quarter.
* Replenish an expired parking meter.

* Let the frazzled person in line go before
you.

* Buy or create a small gift for someone in
your everyday lite—bus driver, coffee shop
salesclerk, teacher, courier ete.—who

makes your day more pleasant.

Then just watch their expression and enjoy
the reaction!

Each month in “Quayside”, we will feature
your stories about acts of kindness. If you
have something youd like to share, please
