little acts of care

I don't really know what would I write in next few lines in coming few minutes,  I feel I have written everything that is going through my mind, but how is it possible that nothing inspired me strongly enough to write a blog today, was I not living every moment to complete or was I not vigilant enough to grasp learning.  Yes now I suddenly recall an incident that delighted me today. While I was providing services in holy kitchen I realised that I was sweating a lot and when I looked near by I saw that the fan facing towards me and other people around was off. Since it was at some height where I couldn't have possibly reached I requested an uncle to switch it on. He was kind enough to get up and switch it on, but it came to our notice that it was inoperative.  I said sorry to uncle for the efforts he had to take leaving his work. While he might have chosen to sit down and just resume work but he rather took initiative to fetch for an alternate and brought ahead a standing fan that faced me and he switched it on. He was not responsible to entertain my request or take such initiative,  but his kind act left a positive impact on me. We often don't realise that many of us get such opportunities but we miss it in our ego or judgment of holding ourselves not responsible for others comfort. Start utilising these opportunities,  you would suddenly feel how peaceful it is to surprise someone with little acts of care.
