It's true. Simple acts are so rewarding. We are mirrors. Generally if you just smile at someone, they will feel it and respond in kind.
I play at nursing homes, and have also noticed if you tell someone they look lovely, they will light up. Simple stuff.

oh i forgot about the parking meter thing. i used to do that too. i don't think i'd have even remembered if you hadn't said something. when i'm out and about i always try to make some people feel pretty or handsome. nothing like it when a stranger seems to think you look just fine! ;-)

I had asked the salesperson if she could hold them for a day because I had a coupon at home. That's when the woman chimed in. Really does restore faith in human kindness.
Before there were parking kiosks, I used to leave extra time in my meter, or put a quarter in someone's expired meter. A very simple and inexpensive random act of kindness.

I am grateful that I found 2 adorable tops on sale, and a woman behind me said she had an additional 20% off coupon I could use!!

i'm an all or nothing shoe person. i'm grateful for just socks and grateful for fun girlie shoes. practical in betweeners have very little appeal to me. although i think that's all i'm good at walking in these days. waa

(I meant "changing shoes", not "changing shows"!)

I think it comes from the messy winters we have and not wanting to bring all the snow and slush into the office, but instead of changing shows at work, a lot of us just take our shoes off! Great for me! I'm not a shoe person.

So much to be grateful for if we just take the time to remember. Thankful for sunshine today, and trees and flowers blooming. For my two little dogs, sleeping like babies. My children, who sometimes make my heart skip beats with their antics but who I love dearly. My husband, for getting up every day and working on our behalf. Oh, and my strong, hot cup of coffee, which I have time to enjoy.

This is great, Lisa. Now I'm ready for the day to begin!
