Witnessing a Nice Act

The other day, while at the grocery store, I witnessed a nice act by someone else.  It took me by surprise.  There was a man who had just finished putting all his groceries on the conveyor, and noticed an older lady standing behind him with only two hallmark cards.  This man without hesitating asked her if she wanted to jump in front of him.  This melted my heart, because it has been over a year since I have seen this type of behavior from other people.  I smiled for the rest of the day.   This gentle person made two woman's day with just one kind gesture.  It really does not take much to do the right thing, and being kind is not as much a choice as more of a way of life; Being kind, in my opinion, would be a character trait.  We need more people practicing this way of life, and paving the way for others to follow.  Just my grocery's worth for the day.
