SMILE Balloons


--by mindyjourney, posted Mar 18, 2016
RAoK idea: hand out balloons to people passing by in a public area.

Mindy's spin: I bought a few of these great SMILE balloons! I gave one immediately to the cashier (who inspired me in spite of her grumpy attitude) and one to the woman behind me in line. :)

They both looked a little "smile" stunned, so I said, "Everyone needs a little smile now and then!"

We all just sort of had a moment, a pause within our busy lives, to connect...and smile. :)
