It's often very small things that bring joy to my life.

| Valentine by MaryAnne Durr |
For instance - the people in my neighborhood wave to each other as they drive by. I haven't seen it out and about in my town and it didn't happen in the neighborhood we lived in before this. But it happens on the streets where I live. It makes me happy.

| Postcard by Hannah Koch |
On a day when I received two rejection letters from art shows I also received this beautiful piece of art in the mail, a postcard with a little thank you note on the back from the lovely and talented Hannah.
When one of my children says "thank you" for a task that is usually invisible it makes me just go all twittery and happy. Smiles make me happy. Surely I can return the favor and perform some simple kindness for the world. Yesterday I bought a bouquet, took out one flower at a time and handed them to everyone I saw until the ran out. With a smile and a "Happy Valentine's Day". It went well this time.
What SIMPLE KINDNESS will you give to the world today?

Gorgeous card that you received. My act of kindness was to take tulip bunches to neighbors. A little bit of spring in the drab winter. My husband sings in a barbershop chorus. Four of them got together to form an ad hoc quartet. They spent Tuesday doing "drive by" singing Valentines to those most forget - kindergarten teachers, library staff, nurses at the hospital, etc. He came home whistling and smiling. Not bad for a guy who dislikes Valentines Day! Wishing you a beautiful week.
