In town today we walked past a homeless man in a sleeping bag on the pavement. We called into a takeaway and bought him a coffee and a slice of cake.. The lovely cafe owner gave us the coffee free for the chap. When we handed it over a group of young people walked past and said 'What a lovely thing to do'. Do you know what? I was really touched and felt like the recipient of a RAK. I am now thinking of RAK's that I can do now and then. Great thought provoking post John.

I first typed "bare" hug...). I love what you did for the staff at the groomers. When my mother spent summer 2015 in hospital, 3-1/2 weeks on one ward, I would bring boxes of chocolates or cookies every couple of days and leave them at the nurses' station. They joy and appreciation I felt were all the gift I needed.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-63317554176622878882017-04-29T05:07:05.635+00:002017-04-29T05:07:05.635+00:00Lucy is 8 years old and lives next door.

Her mother told her she could bring two beachcombing souvenirs home. Lucy gave me a pretty piece of sea smooothed white coral for my shell collection. She is so kind and her parents (and neighbors) are very proud of her. She gives great hugs and loves to sing silly songs to my dog. Lucy also likes to train her chickens, except for one hen who "is very mean, won't listen and poops on me when I pick her up". Yup, good sense of humor too.kippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715389823789274487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-3825196118971883772017-04-29T04:18:37.439+00:002017-04-29T04:18:37.439+00:00Oh dear.

One of my neighbors had wrote how she wanted me to know that she remembers Nicole. I was shocked and so touched by her kindness,.<br />I thought people love you and want to help but after a time, our life just gets in the way.<br />So I try to do that, after a few months go by I will send a card or flowers to let them know I am thinking of them. So easy but means so much. It did for me.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-70575039283629981192017-04-29T00:23:27.117+00:002017-04-29T00:23:27.117+00:00Donna, you made me tear up.Donna, you made me tear up.angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-55570545927708645572017-04-29T00:00:51.964+00:002017-04-29T00:00:51.964+00:00Two days ago I was given a lovely, funny card by a...Two days ago I was given a lovely, funny card by a member of my bushfire brigade to show me how much my efforts were appreciated.

I love my team, and do what I can in the way of providing training and references for them. Its NEVER enough. People who give up their time with no expectation of repayment?

I give it to the cashier and my vet knows me. Once at the vet, I overheard a man and woman talking about what bill they wouldn't pay to pay for their old chihuahua to have some teeth pulled. They were crazy about their little girl and I noticed their car had a broken out window that was taped up. It was obvious how much they loved their dog, were counting their pennies and the spirit moved me.
