The Feel Good Factor

  It really is the small acts of kindness that can turn a day in the right direction. A couple of days ago I pulled into a car-park, in St Albans. As I exited my car a kind gentleman who was walking past asked me if I wanted his parking ticket. It had just over an hour left on it - exactly what I needed.

  As I walked back to my car with the ticket I was offered another ticket, by another thoughtful chap. I will always hand my tickets to those who are just arriving if they have any time left on them, or just stick them to the ticket machine for the next person. It feels great to know that this practice works both ways and enhances my faith in the community spirit. 

  When we act in a way that serves ourselves through serving others - everybody wins.
