It is good to hear that your first house experience gives you pleasant memories. They have lost a lot of things in this day and age and it saddens me. I try to make sure and share as much as I can with my grandchildren and hope they try to be good people. My oldest granddaughter shops with me a lot and I tend to help people if it looks like they need it. Especially elderly people. My granddaughter asked me why I talk to strangers and I had to explain the nuances of that to her and that if it looks like someone is confused or undecided about something and you have some knowledge and can help then don't be afraid to offer. Or just saying hello, compliment someone on their outfit, whatever. I totally practice what I preach and people love it. Human kindness, the golden rule.....you know. People are so busy and don't really talk or interact like we used to and I do my best to not neglect the little gestures of kindness.
I think this may very well be our Prime Directive --- to help spread the random acts of kindness, even if it's just to smile at someone walking in the mall. I used to just smile at a person walking toward me. Many perked up and smiled back. You just never know when or how much another person needs that smile.
Exactly!!
