Random acts of kindness are the best! I love seeing the unexpected.

I once followed an elderly man picking up rubbish in the streets. He was picking up every single piece of rubbish he could find for over a mile long walk. Off the beaten path and into bushes he went, collecting cans and food wrappers blown downwind from the local Mcdonalds.

My intention was not to follow him, although I was interested to see him work away, making our streets much cleaner.

Somewhere along our journeys our paths divided and I lost sight of him and the good deed he was doing.

I went about my business and fortunately our paths crossed again.

It was in my local KFC I saw this very man standing in queue, and I had to ask him about his good deed.

his story was a great story! He had been cleaning up our streets for over 10 years, every day, and as a reward to himself once a week he would buy himself a KFC.

I was lucky to encounter him doing his good deeds on the day he was due to reward himself with a tasty KFC.

I was touched by his story and felt I would love to reward him myself and paid for his KFC that day.

We sat and talked about the history of our town whilst enjoying a tasty chicken burger.

Although I don't venture to that area of town much, I still see him from time to time and it brings a warmness to my heart that people are persistent in their pursuit to make the world a better place.
