I have found that spreading kindness is not always about 1. you do for someone, but it can also be what you say. One day I was standing in line at the gas station. Ahead of me were 2. other people. 3. of them had a smile on their face and they all seemed to be in a hurry .After the cold ,snowy winter, we were having a warm, sunny day. I wanted to cheer them up, so I spoke up and said, “I don’ t know 4. one of you ordered this fantastic day for us, but l want to say I really appreciate 5. and thank you .”After that, the five of us smiled 6. we started talking to each other. What I had said made 7. big difference to everyone’s day. You can see that it is much easier to spread kindness 8. words.
Leaving for work one morning, I noticed that my newspaper hadn’t been delivered yet. Since I always took it to work, it me that I would have to stop at the store and pick one up. I was already running late, but figured I could make it if I hurried. It was putting me in a mood.
As I pulled into the parking lot of the to get a newspaper, I noticed a young man in a wheelchair who seemed to be with his wheelchair. “I’m sure he’s all right”, I thought, “or if he’s not, someone else will help him.”
by the customers and cars that were passing him by, I guessed they were thinking the thing. I got out and walked over to see what the was.
“Is there anything I can do?” I asked. I noticed he wasn’t able to , and was still struggling with the wheelchair.
I at the wheelchair and noticed that the clamp(夹锁) holding the electronic keyboard and chair controls had loosened, causing the equipment to slip down, out of his reach.
I pulled it back into . His hand pulled over to the keyboard and he hit a single key. An electronic voice said, “Thank you.”
I felt a wave of gratitude come over me. I was truly blessed to have the physical that allowed me to live a normal life. The young man helped me gain a new way of thinking in life.
