Another Xmas story.
You can become pretty cynical with all the phone calls from charity, the endless bills, the GFC, the price of diesel and the news of the world. I was pretty sure that I'd become an old grouch.

But;
sitting having a rare coffee inside a local shopping centre I was directly behind a couple of kids collecting for the Surf Lifesaving Movement. They just stood there, tins in hand. No hassling anyone.

I watched young and old put a few bob into the tins, young mums with kids, mums and dads giving their kids money to give to a very worthy cause. Maybe one in 10 people gave something.

Amazing. "Don't these people get the same phone calls that I do?" I wonder.
Donor exhaustion isn't universal I realize.

As I slip some coins into the tin, the lass smiles at me and says thank you.

Maybe it's Xmas or whatever, but I am suddenly smiling.

I had a good experience also, I sold an item in the trader section, told buyer I would pay postage, sent parcel off, about a week later payment for the goods arrived with the postage cost added to the agreed price. Not talking big dollars but a very nice but unnecessary gesture on the buyers behalf. Still some great minded people out there.
