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.

Just over a week ago, I helped another lady who was trying to help an elderly lady with a walker get down a 1 foot drop off the footpath to get to her car. Our streets here are not elderly or disabled friendly.
Then two days ago, I helped an elderly gentleman with 2 walking sticks get up out of a chair.
I didn't think about how it would make me feel at the time, all I could think about was that these people needed to be helped.
But afterwards, I did feel good.
We should all be ready to help for the reason of being compassionate not for the reason of feeling good. Feeling good is just an added bonus.
