So today began my journey of making people smile.
* I started the day by making an award certificate for a co-worker that had run faster than me during a recent 5K. I had our boss sign it and present it to her. The result= an embarassed co-worker.
* I stopped at a gas station and got in checkout line behind an older lady buying some doughnuts and pop. I kindly asked if I could pay for her items. I think she was at first offended. "Do I look poor or sick?" she says. I explain that I have made it my goal to make someone smile everyday. She tells me to save my money for someone else. I buy my gum and leave.
*I bought a pizza for lunch and shared with a co-worker. I didn't see her smile, but I'm sure she appreciated it.
* I contacted the Department for Community Based Services and signed up for the informational class about being Foster and Adoptive parents. this may not seem like a smile making thing, but it definietely made me smile. Tim and I are ready to take the next steps in expanding our family, which will result in many more smiles to come.
“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” ~ Leo F. Buscaglia
