Moments of kindness brighten your day

I slowed down to stop for a red light in Chemainus and my car just suddenly stopped.

Moments of kindness brighten your day

Moments of kindness can be the sun in someone’s cloudy day and also touch their heart forever. That is what I experienced on March 15, 2021.

My cat and I were driving back from an unsuccessful visit to the vet. I slowed down to stop for a red light in Chemainus and my car just suddenly stopped. I tried to restart it with no luck. So there I sat, stunned, in the middle of the highway watching the traffic as it quickly approached me from behind!

Luckily, two people came and pushed me off the highway. Then a little bit later, a man came to push me completely off the road with some help from a lady and a Co-op employee.

I offered to give these people something in return; they all refused.

All five of these people risked their safety to help me!

So I would like to take this opportunity to say my gratitude to these people for helping me, for their kindness and for being them!

May the kindness you gave me return to you in many ways throughout your life!

With both hands over my heart, thank you again for touching my heart and being the sun in my cloudy day!
