Helping to zip my clothes is one thing that Is really endearing to me. I have grown a bit chubbier so it is always difficult to zip my skirts and gowns. My hips always makes the zipping difficult so anyone that lend a hand to zip me is actually very kind to save me from struggling alone.

Absolutely. Small, unnoticed acts of kindness, like holding a door, a smile, or a supportive word, can lift someone’s mood and reduce stress. Even if we never see the impact, these gestures create positive ripple effects, improving mental well-being and fostering a sense of connection in everyday life.
