My friend Patricia shared the following story. On her way to work on the morning I saw her, she pulled up to a stop light alongside another car. She looked over at the driver and smiled. At this point the driver of the other car smiled back and motioned for her to roll down her window, which she did. The driver of the other car leaned out and said, “You’re the first person that has smiled at me in over a month! God bless you!” This story is a perfect reminder of the big impact small acts of kindness can have. Your smile will probably surprise the other person and could turn around their day. It could turn around your day as well.
