Today I brought my friend some flowers and popped around to say hi. The visit was great but she just kind of dumped the flowers on the table .. On the drive home I was thinking about how guttered that made me feel, that she didn't seem to appreciate my act of kindness. This led to me thinking - really who am I doing this challenge for... Is it for the people around me or is it to make myself feel good. Selflessness is not something I am very good at. But then maybe she doesn't need gifts and spending time chatting and playing with her kid is the act of kindness that is valuable. To me though, spending time with her and her family isn't an act of kindness it's just life.
