I was up at 4:30am, flying from Toronto back to Halifax, ugh, miserable (especially after one too many with my girls in TO the night before). Hardly slept on the flight, should have brought a sweater, BUT THEN…the day flipped. On my way out of the parking garage there was the sweetest parking attendant—yes he was taking $80 for parking, but he also made me feel 100x better for my dateless wedding weekend away. “If I were 30 years younger and had hair…” haha, was the best. This followed up by the guys in Burnside being beyond sweet and pleasant as I grabbed my breakfast/lunch pad thai hangover cure and headed to work. It’s the smallest things that can make someone’s day—you know, like just being kind to one another. These are silly examples but I wish we all interacted more that way with each other! xo —Passing On Smile

Not silly at all. It’s the little serendipitous things that can make all the difference. Good on yer.
jesus… hammered at night, then on a flight the morning (something I would NEVER recommend… based on past horrific, green faced experience) and then to work when you landed?!?!?!
I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
you couldn’t take a sick day or book the vacation to include a buffer day to get back and relax? that had to be rough.
yes! pass forward the random acts of senseless kindness, because they breed like bunnies!
