Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Getting a Smile on the Road!

While sitting at the traffic lights yesterday, a young boy approached the window of my car. 

A little bit hesitant to wind the window down, I did it thinking "What's the worst that can happen?!"

Much to my amazement, the boy handed me a card and said, "Today, I'm doing kind things for others to promote anonymous acts of kindness.   I dont know you but I hope you will follow my lead.   Smile.  You've been tagged!  Pass it on."

Then he walked away.

That just really made my day. How awesome is it for someone to take time out to make others smile!!

And now im going to do the same. Smiles are indeed contagious!
