PROGRESS UPDATE
A goal of xxxx on their 101 Things in 1001 Days list with a status of In Progress.
1/ I spent my day today cleaning kitchen cupboards, hanging curtains and helping to bring some sort of organised order to a flat my friend has been modernizing for the longest time before she can move in and has caused her a great deal of stress along the way .. it is not the way I intended to spend my Sunday and I didn't really think I would be needed as she has a good support network around her .. but it was a genuine spur of the moment act of kindness and I'm happy to have been a part of the process in giving a helping hand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2/ I always offer to pick things up for my work colleagues when I am going to the local shops. Sometimes I even pay for their drink or chocolate bar and I regularly buy cookies to share around the office .. I realised this the other day when I had a small list of colleague's wants and commented on my way out the door 'that's my random act of kindness completed for the day'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3/ I was really looking forward to having a long weekend using up my annual leave this month before the tax year ends .. it was with excited contemplation I said goodbye to colleagues as I headed out the door come 5pm at the end of the working week .. I settled into my weekend planning my 4 days ahead until Saturday evening I find a missed call and a message from my manager 'I need to talk with you' .. she'd been off the past couple of days moving home but it was late so I messaged back that I would call in the morning .. Sunday morning I made the call with trepidation not knowing what to expect .. 'I need to take a couple more days off and need your support to support the team leader, say no if you want I will have to think of something else' .. so okay it was agreed I would go in Monday and take Thursday and Friday off instead .. only come Wednesday, my manager needed more time .. in the end it turned out to be two weeks before I finally got to take the much needed time off .. I could of said no but I like to try and support the service and my colleagues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4/ Lately my local bus service has been going on strike on random days of the week .. for me it means a 40 minute walk to the local town and is something I usually do on a nice day when I don't have a care in the world, it's not something I really want to do on my way to work but needs must .. anyways one morning whilst walking still half asleep I went by a couple of people who were waiting at the bus stop .. I carried on walking with an after thought of .. 'I really should of told those people, I don't think the bus is running today' .. I went onto think but I really don't like approaching and bothering random people but then I remembered my random act of kindness goal and thought damn I really should of said something .. so the next time I got the chance, I did and smiled as I walked, it feels good practising random acts of kindness.
