Had a visit with my daughter last night, we went for a walk round her village, she showed me some painted rocks that she'd placed on a wall at the edge of the village. This was nice to see, as the rocks she'd previously placed at a spot near the local shop disappeared, so she tried again. Good for her.
So, this morning I was so very pleased for her when she discovered the posts below, on her village FB page.
I don't know if you can make it out but someone posted a pic of the stones and said "some kind soul has taken time to make us smile as we wander round the village. These lovely wee painted stones were spotted today on the wall at the sub station at the bottom of the High Road. Well done someone!"
This prompted the following lovely responses:
"I came across these on Sunday morning while walking the dogs and definitely made me smile x"
and "My kids took a couple on Sunday to re-hide... I hope that was the intention."
and "Brilliant... Everyone needs a boost now and again and how wonderful that 'someone' has been so thoughtful."
and "I like this very much."
So, just a simple act of kindness has already spread a LOT of joy, well worth it, wouldn't you agree?
And of course, now my daughter has the joy of knowing that her original stones were most likely re-purposed by these same kids!

Sandra Miller wrote: What a special act of kindness - it reminded me of a stone my granddaughter found at a highway rest area in another state from ours - but you sentiments were absolute heartwarming! I know someone who has been depressed for a time now, and think this will be an excellent project to create and hide kindness stones in a public place: it will not only bring a smile to others, it hopefully will turn depression into a joyful life purpose. Thank you for sharing, patjos.
