Happy Monday! With spring coming, old routines are ending and new ones starting and as a result this post is a day delayed. I’m certain that balance will return soon but in the meantime, apologies for the delay.
Here are a few of the good things happening around the world:
From Wales via Mastodon:
“I was grateful to have the opportunity to practice kindness today. After my exercise class I noticed the other new person at the class ,who I had discovered lived on my route home, was waiting for a taxi. She accepted my offer of a lift and she saved the taxi fare and I had a very enjoyable conversation my way home.“
Apparently this is an older post (but new to me!):
There it is again: Seeing a need, thinking “Someone should do something” and then immediately realizing “Hey wait, I’m that someone!”
From Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada:
This is truly caring for your neighbour.
And from right in my neighbourhood in Toronto:
A group of women in our neighbourhood gets together every year to provide free meals for Ramadan

Here’s a video showing some of the projects they’ve been involved in including this one.

There’s been quite a bit of good news this week also:
- A man in the Netherlands is helping people fight predatory landlords
- A member of the Swedish Parliament was in Montenegro when he saw a baby dropped from a bridge into the water. He dove in and saved it. [autotranslated from Swedish via Google Translate
- Since the pandemic, “Global Benevolence” has increased.
