Have you done something just for the good feeling it gave you - like giving up your seat on the bus for someone, opened a door for someone, helped someone you didnt even know? Or has a stranger done something for you that made you feel good all over? Tell us about it here.

Its so nice to know there are lovely people out there. I know at times I have been surprised at the courtesy of teenage boys - opening a door for me or being polite when you expect them to be rude like most are. It proves that some parents do a good job.
I started this discussion as I had just done a RAK and wondered if other did too. Recently I sold one of my handmade needle felted bears to a lady in the States, she bought the purple bear from me as she was collecting purple bears in memory of her Mum who had died earlier in the year of pancreatic cancer. It was only after I sent her the bear that she told me this. I was touched by her story and decided to make another purple bear for her and send it as a Christmas present to her - her first Christmas without her Mum would be hard so I made a purple angel bear and sent it with a Christmas card. I dont know if she has got it yet but whether I hear from her or not it was my little RAK for this time of year. Its so nice to know there are still lots of kind people in this world. Happy Christmas everyone! (and keep telling me your stories too)
