It’s heartening to hear of the kindness of strangers when there are so many stories of strangers being total jerks, feeling they have the right to know your life story because you’re walking with a cane etc. etc.! But what I really, really want to know is … why does the guy giving the other guy some melon have a bird on his head? ;o)

I often check your blog now since I have found it. You have some great insight and a way with words. Great to hear that you are feeling mobile, I will send some positive vibes into the universe in hope that it lasts.

I like to believe their acts of kindness help them as much as they help us. Maybe they value their own abilities a little more, or maybe it just makes them feel as good to help as it makes us to be helped.

This was a lovely post RA Guy. You have a lovely way with words.
I had a lovely act of kindness a couple of weeks ago when I young woman offered me her seat on the tram when she saw me struggling. I was shocked as this has never happen to me before (maybe as I am young?) and I don’t walk with any aids as yet. But it did lift my spirts that day.
