A different day.

Today I have decided to do things differently. Usually, all I notice when I walk around town are the annoying things. But today I’m going to walk from the train station to my house after staying over at a friend’s house last night and make a point of noticing nice things.


















I’m home. Here is a list of what I saw:

1. A teenager who was listening to his music through his mobile telephone speaker and appearing quite anti-social giving up his seat for some old tourists.

2. A man in a nice suit saying ‘good morning, how did–‘ to the homeless man selling copies of the Big Issue.

3. A counter girl in Tesco swabbing an old woman’s cut hand with alcohol and then putting a bandage on. I’m sure this flies against some health and safety procedures, as she was doing it where people queue up, but that just makes it nicer in my eyes.

4. A man picking up the dropped items of a clumsy woman.

Now, the first one happened as my train came to the my station, so I’ll count that has part of my 200 metre journey from the station to my house. 1 nice thing happening every 50 metres is a good ratio of nice/distance, I think. If I’m more observant I may be able to get it down to 1 nice thing happening every 25 metres. I’ll give it a go this afternoon.
