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.

I enjoy being of help to people. We get a lot of visitors to the suburb where I live being by the sea. Many of these visitors are from overseas and they get quite rattled by the transport system. I often get them headed in the right direction and they are always so grateful and thank me with their smiles. We have a very good local tram system but the time table is a bit confusing, having someone (like me) to give them directions and let them know where to get off the tram and then catch either a bus or train to where they want to go is so helpful to them. I would like to think someone would help me in a similar situation. It doesnt cost a thing to help others and I am sure it would make for a better world if we all did a bit more helping!
