Who was kind to you today?

It can be a stranger, a colleague, or a dog. It counts. — asked by Wren

My buddy. Four lines on a Sunday night and it is quietly the most reliable thing in my week.

BobbieRochdale, UK

Nobody in particular and everybody a bit. It has been an all right week for people.

Gavin Your pharmacist sounds like a good one. They are the most underused people in the whole system.

My neighbour walked the dog while I was in hospital and would not take anything for it.

My mother-in-law, who has strong opinions and delivered them at dinner again.

HeddaCopenhagen, DK

Somebody in this circle replied to my first post within an hour. They will not remember. I do.

Martha If any of this is sitting heavily, our support resources page is there and there is no drama in using it.

NellFrome, UK

My buddy had a bad week and I had a fine one. Next month it will be the other way round.

SolomonManchester, UK

Somebody I look after was kind to me, which is the wrong way round and I noticed.

Tobin Small and repeatable beats perfect and abandoned. Every time.

NevGrimsby, UK

My daughter, who asked how I was and then actually waited for the answer.

6

GaelanInverurie, UK

The practice nurse who ran the bloods rather than telling me to take a supplement.

TansyLudlow, UK

A stranger held a door and I nearly wept, which tells you what sort of week it has been.

TavishIsle of Skye, UK

A locum was brusque and a receptionist was lovely, and the receptionist is the one I remember.

ZenBristol, UK

Nobody in particular and everybody a bit. It has been an all right week for people.

My sister, who has said nothing about any of it and I have decided that is her being kind.
