Random Acts Of Kindness Ft. Thorntons Continental

Yesterday afternoon I received the loveliest surprise. You may have already guessed exactly what from the picture above and yes you'd be right.

On returning from lunch my colleague Diane informed me that a patient had popped in with a card and some chocolates for me. It caught me completely off guard.

It's fair to say that as a practice we have the most generous and loveliest of patients, and yet they never cease to surprise and amaze me.

I certainly don't do my job to get thanks, nor do I go out of my way to be nice to people just to get things in return. And yet in all my years of working there, I have found that my kindness has unintentionally reaped so many rewards.

I now count the majority of the patients there as friends. It's hard not to after fifteen years. They've witnessed me grow up from being a painfully shy teenager to the - not quite as young as I'd like to be - woman I am today.

I guess it's true what they say. Being nice to others has a domino effect.

In a world now filled with so much evil, I take comfort in these small random acts of kindness. It restores my faith in humanity, if even only for a short while.

I'm off to enjoy these scrummy looking chocolates with my mum.

Wishing you all the loveliest of weekends. Until next time...

Lots of love Justine xxx
