Kind gestures that warm your heart

[Rockin' Robin]

I have been inspired to create this thread, because kindness is a very underated quality, and is perhaps looked upon as a weakness in this day and age. But more often than not, it is the simplest gestures that touch our hearts, and they can happen when you least expect them to.
Let me begin by sharing an experience that I had yesterday at my place of employment. I have talked about my job in other posts on Tattle, usually in a negative way. Yesterday was another difficult day, I won't bore you with the details.
The first person that I met when I entered the care home in which I work, was a lovely resident who has a tendency to wander around the home. She has difficuly in communicating, she mumbles, but if you take the time to listen to her, she does make sense. But I could not stop to chat, because I had work to get on with.
As I have said, the day was difficult, and I just wanted to go home at the end of my shift. I left the building, and began to unlock my bike, I suddenly spotted the resident looking through the lounge window at me. She clapped her hands, and waved at me. I really feel that she was trying to communicate with me, despite her difficulties. I watched her for a few minutes, she smiled at me, I waved back. For the first time since working at the home, I felt like I had made a worthwhile contribution to someone's life. She touched my heart.

Over to you.

I’ve got loads of these but the most recent happened only a couple of weeks ago. An elderly man dropped a bunch of change all over the ground outside of our local Asda. My two little boys (aged 4 and 6) instinctively went to help him pick it up and afterwards he gave them a pound each and inisisted they buy sweeties with it (despite my protests ofc). I thought it was really lovely of the gentleman and was very proud of them for helping.

I have 3 kids. And my middle kid is the kindest sweetest little girl. She's 7 and honestly her good heart is the type you can't teach its just pure and natural.

A little tale from recently. Her best friend is a very anxious shy little girl. My daughter is a really good runner. But last week during PE at school her bestie had cried and didn't want to run etc so my daughter walked the course with her rather than been up at the front of the pack

It just warms my heart

My husband brought tears to my eyes this evening : he gave me complete control of the TV remote. I was sooo touched by this random act of kindness.

I hate the 'random act of kindness ' things that people post about on social media. A lot of them seem so premeditated and orchestrated and carried out for attention. The exact opposite of random. And don't get me started on the term 'ROAK'

True kindness is spontaneous and really does warm your heart.

I took my little boy to see His favorite celeb on stage on Monday, we stumbled down the back of the theatre to the stage door by complete fluke, we waited a while and got talking to the people waiting to try and meet him, there was a fair sized crowd, but this particular group of people made an ‘ bubble ‘ around him and made sure he got to meet the celeb , have his pic taken taken and have a few moments the celeb & the potential loss of them not getting a moment with him ( the celeb was actually really amazing and took his time to make sure everyone got a pic etc ) but they didn’t need to do that for him and it really touched my heart

A few days ago, I was pasiing through a village where I used to live. I noticed that there were quite a few people gathered together, lining the main street. I asked one of the crowd what was going on, they told me they had gathered together to pay their respects to the owner of the nearby Greengrocer's shop.
After a few minutes, the funerel cars pulled up ouside of her shop and everyone clapped. It was really emotional, I shed a few tears even though I never knew her. There is something very special and unique about village communities.

A couple of years ago, there was a girl who attended her school's summer prom but left after she got water poured over her by another girl there. After this was featured in the news, she was given a lot of support by people online. That was quite heartwarming.

I was on the bus to a placement. My father phoned my that my grandma had died. I began to cry on the bus. A girl noticed me and asked if i was okay which made me cry more. She also hugged me. I didn’t know her but she stayed with me whilst I got off and headed back home.

I was in a coffee shop. Noticed a woman opposite me had left her phone behind.Ran up to give it to her as she’d walked out. She said thank you but came back with a £10 gift card for that coffee shop and handed it to me.
