Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Sunny Sunflowers


--by tien, posted Oct 22, 2015
My daughter, who lives 2 hours away, posted yesterday that she loves sunflowers and that they make her smile. So early this morning I called to have a bouquet of them to her today as a surprise. The person who took my order asked if this was a special occasion and I had an opportunity to tell her about our Kindness challenge.
My daughter should receive her flowers in just a few minutes. I love thinking of her smiling and surrounded with smiling sunflowers. It is nice to get little clues and hints from others as to what they love, so that we can send love to them in ways that touch them. The question still surfaces...who is happiest, the giver or the receiver? I say it feels wonderful for all of us to be in the kindness flow.
