I didn’t find many opportunities to do “kind deeds” today. I spent most of the day at the Breast Clinic undergoing a mammogram and an ultrasound. I smiled at as many people as possible, but it’s one of those places where you don’t look at people for too long. Everyone thinks the same thing – I wonder if she’s had breast cancer? I wonder if she’s here because she found a lump? or I wonder if she’s here for a routine check up? Needless to say I was glad when I had the all clear to go home. I was lucky – I’m sure some ladies were not so lucky today, which is very sad.
I did pick up some boxes for an older lady at the fruit shop on the way home. She accidentally knocked them over while picking out a box. When I started picking them up for her she turned her back to me and left me to it …sometimes I find older people can be much ruder than young people.
Am I wrong to expect a thank you for doing a kind deed?
