Today in the UK its 'Kindness Day'.
A day when we can all do a small thing to make another persons day a bit better.
I was listening to the radio this morning and they were suggesting ways that you could do this and one simple thing was to smile at strangers.
I'm going to try this when we go out to meet out younger son Matt for lunch.
Watch this space and if I end up with a black eye for smiling at the wrong person I'll post a pic, lol
If you take your mafia bodyguards ( previous post) you'll be fine. You have such a beautiful smile I can't imagine anyone taking offence:)
ReplyDeleteI like smiling at random people....you can see them looking slightly puzzled and thinking 'Do I know her?'. Or more likely, 'Is she alright?' haha
ReplyDeleteWe don't just smile at strangers 'up north'. We smile, we say good morning and comment on the weather too. So many people have commented on how much better I am walking now. My poorly leg has been a great conversation starter
ReplyDeleteI smiled at the postman just now and he said, "**** off! I'm not queer!" Charming!
ReplyDeleteThere is a danger in this today YP.

DeleteHi YP,I dont know how to comment on your blog,but just thought Id let you know here that I borrowed your boys BOSH book from the library yesterday.It looks great!!,xx
That is great Debi. There's another book out on Boxing Day.
DeleteI almost always smile when I'm out and about and most smile back. Some people do look back a little suspiciously. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI had know idea it was 'Kindness Day' and no doubt the workman putting up the town's Christmas Tree who burped in my face didn't know either! Anyway, if you go back to my blog Briony I have responded to your comment regarding a chunky knitting pattern. Enjoy your lunch! x
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDelete"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?! DON'T LOOK AT ME!"
I had no idea it was "Kindness Day." Fortunately I haven't been very cranky today.
there truly is danger in smiling at the wrong person in this world we live in. but try it anyway. I will try to be kind today, my choice is either Bob or Big Boy. which do you think I will do
ReplyDeleteI always smile at everyone it works as Spike Milligan its infectious.
ReplyDeleteI try to do this all the time, but you cannot just smile at everyone for sure. What a cute photo!
ReplyDeleteYes, report back! lol
ReplyDeleteSmiling seems like it should be simple, but a lot of the time it's really not :)
You are so right in that even a smile can make a day. One time, when I was young, I went by my husband's work place for some reason...I know I was just there a minute and left. Well it was in an area where there were some one way streets. And I started to turn down the wrong way...and a person was coming....instead of scowling at me or doing something angry, she just smiled at me, and I mouthed the words I'm Sorry! to her. If she had gotten mad, it would have spoiled my whole day.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I hope no one gives you a black eye for smiling at them. That wouldn't be very kind :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice time. I treated my friend to a toasted tea cake and coffee at a farm shop café near to us, we had a lovely time and lots of people were smiling...maybe they knew it was Kindness Day.
ReplyDeleteI so love the kitten photo♥ I think a lot of people have lost the art of smiling, good luck Briony with your beautiful smile I'm sure it will be contagious:)
ReplyDeleteSending big smiles and a hug your way, Briony!

ReplyDeleteI was doing well..well as well as you can at 6am in the morning,lol...then as I was driving home,some idiot thought that he could cut the corner and nearly drove me off the road
ReplyDeleteAs I slammed my brakes on I waved my arms at him..in a..bloody slow down motion,mouthing swear words but smiling at the same time.He just drove on looking like he wasnt to sure what to do....I thought that taking a driving lesson might help him!xx
We find that each and every day we come across an idiot driver (or two) the problem is that nobody has a second to waste, they're all in such a hurry. Glad you were not hurt.
