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 know I have definitely done minor things such as opening doors for someone, saying 'good morning' with a cheerful smile to a complete stranger, returning money they had dropped to strangers etc...all little things but they made me feel so good at the time!
On the other hand though I can never forget how once many years ago when I was in my 'teens an old gentleman was walking home as I was walking to the corner shop in the other direction. Our paths crossed and he doffed his hat to me.....a very simple little gesture I know, but one that made me think I was 'someone special' and stayed with me all these years. At times I wonder ...did that old gentleman ever realise just how much he made my day
