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 catch the bus almost every morning and I recently assisted an elderly lady who walks with a cane and shakes when taking the stair on the bus with her trolley. I was embarassed to say that it took me to look up to see why the bus wasnt moving before I noticed the lovely older lady completely spent struggling to lift the trolley. She was clearly embarassed not to be able to manage herself.

I am seeing people less and less inclined to assist others and this was yet another example of young able bodied people so self involved that they can not assist a person in need. Needless to say I hope someone helps me when I am older and less able.

I definately believe in karma and paying it forward - lifes hard enough!
