The kindness of a passing stranger …
..I was writing in my favourite coffee shop in the company of my laptop and my journal as usual.
Suddenly I heard someone say, "Excuse me, I don’t want to interrupt you but I just want to say that it is so nice to see someone is still using writing paper. I believe you will do well whatever you do!”
I was stunned to receive the praise. Deep down I felt a flow of fresh and warm energy receiving the pure kindness!!
We can make the day of someone by telling them that we believe in them.
Let’s do it from today!
…
The smiles of strangers
**************************
I woke up with a headache. A part of me told me to just chill out and not read or exercise as I would normally do. But another part of me told me I had to keep going. I convinced myself to just write my daily journal and then I went for a run.
I was wondering about my thoughts and my headache while running.
"Hi, how are you!"
Somebody whispered with a sweet cheerful voice, it was a young school kid. She was with her other two friends, laughing and running to chase each other. With her big grin she wished that I had a great day and she cheered me for running.
It was like a warm beautiful feeling of engaging with the beauty of life. If I didn't crawl out of the house to engage with life, I would have missed the smiles.
I forgot about the headache. It was an illusion, it was gone.
Let's encourage ourselves to engage with life again, to be kind to others. Just a smile can make somebody’s day.
