Stories of Kindness from Around the World

If You Don't Believe Me, Try It!

Since I've joined this fanatastic site, I've paid a lot more attention to people and reaching out in more ways.

On my way to work this morning, I gave a guy a chance to filter in ahead of me.  I smiled and waved him through and he honked and smiled in appreciation. As a matter of fact, I let all 4 cars behind him go ahead of me! 

When I looked up the road, the guy I let pass returned the favour to someone else trying to filter.  I'd like to think that he did so with a smile and a wave. 

It totally changed my mood this morning. Being the middle of the week and also not getting a good night's sleep, I was tired and a bit grumpy. However, this simple act boosted my spirits and made me feel happy.

It really does work. If you don't believe me, you should give it a try today! :)
