Share a time when you or someone else did a simple random act of kindness and it brightened your day 🥰

When my brother and I were very young we use to love to ride the animated coin activated children's carousels near the entrance at the grocery store.
I remember our mom finishing with buying groceries and my brother and I ran a head to hop on the little animal figures just waiting for her to catch up and feed the machine some coins. A stranger man walked by and put some coins in and started it for us, I was in such surprise by his kindness Ive never forgotten. 💗
They dont have those kids rides anymore, my guess they have become safety hazards?

I don’t know why they don’t have those rides in the entrances of stores now. Maybe didn’t make enough money. A local grocery chain used to have them. And even Walmart had them too..but they took soda machines out of most store’s entry ways as well. I think the reason for that in some areas of the city was to keep the homeless from hanging around in the summer but another reason was to sell 20 ounce bottles of soft drinks from small units by the cash registers for a lot more money than they could get from the soft drink machines.
