Today I helped an elderly lady carry her shopping from the bus stop to her house. I was rubbish at remembering to do Good Turns as a Brownie/Guide, and also I think you are meant to keep quiet about them and act as if being nice were actually part of your make-up rather than forced upon you by feminine institutions, but I WAS A VERY NICE PERSON TODAY.

Hurrah for being a nice person!

I always fear that someone is Going To Be Cross With Me for offering help, which makes good turns harder. Jay manages to do them spontaneously and quietly, and I am both impressed and rather jealous.

Also, I am SO about the mentioning it when you've done something good :)

I am only ever cross with people for assuming I want help and grabbing things from me, so I am always prepared for people to say no and then go about my business.
