I feel so deflated. I watch the news and I am just saddened. The more I watch the news, the more dejected I become. Yet I cannot pull myself away. More violence, more terror, more hatred. When will it all end? Why can't we all just get along?
I know I've written about this before. Today, I don't care. Today, I just want it all to stop. Today, I want everyone to just do one nice thing for a stranger. Just one. Maybe buy a cup of coffee for the person behind you. Maybe compliment a stranger. Maybe just hold a door open. Maybe pick some flowers and leave them on the doorstep of your neighbor, or even a stranger. Just do something nice.
How hard is it to smile? Did you know it actually takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown? Did you know that? Why are you wasting energy by frowning? There's an old saying, "Smile, it makes folks wonder what you have been up to". Do it. Smile. Make someone wonder.
Step outside of your comfort zone today. Even if it is just half a step. Do it. Who knows, you may find something comforting and expand your area. Just try it. That's all I ask.
That's my challenge. Step out, do something nice, smile. Make the change. Be the change.
