Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Fly On the Wall-Wannabe


--by kaya63, posted Oct 12, 2014
I read the email about the No Complaining challenge first thing this morning and I suspected that I might struggle with it...and I was right. 

This challenge may need to be an ongoing, underlying challenge for the extent of the 21 days. I'm not a big complainer, but I certainly do my fair share of whining.

So....I decided to augment my kindness acts with one I was very excited about. We have a neighborhood laundry mat down the street where mostly retired couples do their weekly laundry. I snuck in after work and loaded up a washer and dryer with quarters and smile cards.

I was especially excited to see a washer in use with no one around. I knew then that someone would be getting a "smile" very soon! Wish I could have been a fly on the wall!
