The Kindness of Quick Thinking

"Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you."
~ Princess Diana

I was in an elevator recently with several other people, including an older woman who was using a walker.  When the elevator stopped on the floor at which she was exiting, she slowly began pushing the walker.  Although I was standing by the elevator button panel, I was not thinking as quickly as another woman who reached over and held the open-door button.  The woman then apologized for reaching across me!  Sheepishly, I thanked her for her quick thinking.
