My good deed for the day

Good girl mel - I wouldn't expect anything else from you! I have always been like this myself - it amazes me how many people can watch others struggling and not lift a finger to help them! I am raising my kids to help in any way they can and hope they follow your example honey!

I, myself, am surprised that no one actually moved in to help her, particularly someone else who was getting onto the train. Anyway, with her asking for help, that does surprise me that no one else stepped up to help.

It does appear that the way of the gentelman has gone by the way side. It is us as parents that this has happend. mothers gone from the home working and not being at home to teach their childern the finer manners that they should know. I guess that they are expected to just pick them up. I do help people out as much as I can. I usually volunteer one of my grandkids though because I am disabled. and usually have one of them with me and they are willing to help. Some times people just don't think or realize that people need help even when they ask. Someone else will do it. I might lose my seat.

Good for you! I do to. The other day I was in a store and a elderly woman couldnt reach the top shelf so I got it for her and she was so thankful. Your right it does make you feel good.

Good for you Mel. I would be surprised if there weren't men just standing around who could have helped and didn't, but you did. The giver of help always benefits more than the receiver, so of course you felt good. I find it quite odd at times when I'm shopping. I am an extremely healthy and fit person so I sometimes forget I am old. I have always been in the habit of helping older people in the supermarkets; getting things off higher shelves, lifting heavy objects, helping push an obstinate trolley round the end of an isle etc. Recently, people have noticed me stretching to get something from a higher shelf and helped me - and I feel so odd. I feel a fraud. I am quite able to get it, but it must be because I am old that people think I need help. Of course, I smile and thank them, but it does come as a shock. Keep up the good work, especially with your mum. She needs looking after, but I know you always do.

Honey ,I try to let others go first and open doors when someone has a full hand or help with whatever I can.It only takes a second to do some of these things and if you helped the lady then she helps someone and they help and on and on... Good for you Sweets...you're a sweet gal.. xoxoxo

I used to this all the time just like you and yes I know what a nice feeling it is , My hubby is a gentleman too and my three sons as well , My daughter in law told me it was my eldest sons manners( and good looks of course) that she was first attracted to , Nowadays though I am the one needs help but hey we all have to get old xx

Sweetie it is how you where brought up and I am proud to say that you and your Brother have taken it in I guess also having a disabled Granny in a Wheelchair helped a lot to it as you 2 always wanted and did help her Yes I am very proud of you my Darling and you know that xxxxx

I am always helping people in the stores they walk up to me and ask wherer somethig is sometimes I think they think I work there lolol

In regards to helping others while I am out and about yes I often help others I too feel great when I do this and I have found that some days other people have helped me out when I need help it is a wonderful feeling to know that other care and that we care about others as well. xx

that was good of you to help out mel. i always offer to help people if they need it when i am out and about

I see, a plus for you Mel. Those were little things that we sometimes forget or we just tend to ignore to help. We all have that responsibilities to one another or to our fellowmen and one of those is to help whenever someone needs it. Keep it up.Godbless!
