In this live we found ourselves, do try your best to be nice to people regardless of the circumstances.
I have always know this lovely lady from work. We see a couple of times and exchanged greetings. Well, you will understand better if you know how most people in the UK simply mind their business most times.
It happened that during summer heat wave there was an alert encouraging staff to wear scrubs so, this she came to my unit for scrub as her tunic was so hot for the weather.
Unfortunately we ran out the other day so when she came my unit was not willing to share with other departments.
I saw her begging but no one said no; including myself. Minutes later I saw her still wandering then, I called her to the side and gave her one. She was happy and left.
We met recently and got talking only for her to disclose to me that she lost her other half 7months ago.
“And you are back to work already?” was the first thing I asked her. I couldn’t believe this lady, her predicament and her courage…
I don’t know what you are going through but do realise there are people who are going through a lot and still manage to wear a polite face.
We are all faced with challenges in this world.
Do remember that the world rotates.
Be nice to people
Be nice to self too😄
Lots of Love,

That is nice of you to help a person in need. I don’t understand how people could turn her away like that, I sure won’t be able to. Good work!
Thanks Gaya. Every little act of kindness help I guess. Hope you are doing great?
