Random Kindness

A few little words . . . spoken quickly . . . and probably without much thought . . . yet they made my day.

I was walking outside to dump the trash the other day and a stranger walking down to the beach said to me, "your house is the cutest on this lane.

Thanks for making me smile.

Last week on "date night", Steve and I left the theater and as we crossed the street, a young woman in a car yelled out to us, "you two look so cute".

Thanks for making us laugh.

The other day, after Lulu's bath, I took her for a "fluff and dry" walk and was stopped by two women who oohed and aahed over Lulu.

As we chatted, one of the women shook my hand and said, "I'm Gloria.  You are a hoot!"

Thanks for befriending me.

My favorite was the telephone solicitor who asked to speak to my mother.

Thanks for letting me know that at least my voice is still young.

About 25 years ago, I was exiting church and the usher handed me the weekly flyer that I normally quickly browsed, and threw away within a day or two.

That day was different.

I read a short article that literally changed my life.

The gist of the message was-

How?

With a few simple, yet kind words.

The article went on to challenge me to make at least one person feel special each day.

I accepted that challenge and it became my "thing".

At school, I greeted students I didn't know with "cute shoes", "I like that jacket", "How's it going?"

I know my words made an impact because students wrote comments in my yearbook and wrote me letters at the end of each school year about how much my comments meant to them.

The sweet comments people leave on my blog mean so much and "make my day".

And now, it is time to catch up on my favorite blogs.

And maybe, I will make someone's day with my comment.

The photos have no connection to this post, but I am a visual person and love to see pictures on blogs.

All of the flowers are growing in my garden right now.
