Kind acts

In a world full of news that is about the hate going on in America, I have decided to focus on the good. It is the only way to get through the day with out feeling depressed and disgusted by watching the news.
I want to share some good that I have come across lately. Now I am not talking about saving the world good, just small things that make my day and that shows that not everyone is evil.

The other day at work, I am helping the teacher put up these paintings that our students did. Forgetting that the day before a vacation, the class always does an art project, I wore a white vest. Now me and white is never very good, so that was a bad decision in the first place. It's a tricky thing to put up black paintings with out getting the paint all over you. But of course, being the person I am, somehow the paint got on my white vest and on my coat that was hanging on my chair.

At the end of the day, I go to the teacher and ask her if the paint comes out, she very kindly offers to take the vest home and get the paint out for me, since I was leaving the next day for Wisconsin.
This made my day, I can't completely explain why that made my day, but it just reminded me how good people can be.

Good thing number 2.
At the airport, waiting for my chicago flight to get to Wisconsin I had bought some cinnamon bites and an iced coffee. I put the iced coffee down my my feet and the guy next to me accedentally tips it over. He felt so bad, he started trying to clean it up then offered to buy me another one. I told him he didn't need to do that, but he insisted. I couldn't kept insisting for him to leave it, but the kindness of it just stunned me. Not many people offer to do that for a complete stranger. They just oppologize and maybe clean it up. I thanked him perfusely for being so kind and happily sipped my giant iced coffee. It was giant and I could not finish it. I felt bad because he had gone out of his way to replace my old one, but it's the thought that counts.
Definitely a kind act.

What got me the most out of this is that in a place where it is so very busy and people can be in a rush, crabby, and rude, this person was none of that. I wish people were more like that to strangers, it just takes a kind act as simple as that to really make someones crazy day a bit better.
