There is so much evil in the world, so much envy, jealousy, bitterness, and hatred, all radiating like ripples in our pond, called life, creating a muddy shoreline where nothing grows, that smells foul and is unpleasant for any journey.
What then if evil can multiply through the course of cause and effect in this manner might we do to cultivate kindness and smiles?
THINK WHAT YOU MIGHT DO TODAY FOR SOMEONE that might turn the tide and begin to mend the shores of our existence?
What will you do this day?
And for those who didn't like the way I asked above:
What can you do on this day to cultivate happiness, joy and peace?
EX:
1) Pay for a person's bridge toll?
2) Pay for someone's gas that is obviously scraping up change from the floor of their car?
3) Let the person who has been trying to merge into traffic, merge safely and without a scowl on your face?
4) Open a door for someone?
5) Smile, sincerely?
6) Carry groceries
7) Rake your neighbor's leaves-They are from your tree!

You are sweet, but the only reason I posted this question is because I was 'UGLY' yesterday during this whole "Kerry" thing and I am trying to undo any of the ick that ensued.
I humbly liken myself to the nursery rhyme of the little girl with a curl right in the middle of her forehead... "When she was good she was very, very good, but when she was bad she was horrid." ;) I praise God alone that any good can come from me. :)

If I could get my butt away from this computer I will go out and do only positive things. Daily I do for others to show my gratitude for each gift and blessing I have in life! Sounds like you do too.
How about you all email ME a kind message... I am really grieving for my mom today. This makes me want to stay home because I can NOT be a brat with out witnesses.

I love this kind of question, the way you think, and all of your suggestions.
My favorite two "little things" are to put quarters into parking meters as I walk by, extending the time for people, and to be sure to let fast food workers know that I enjoyed my meal. They need to feel appreciated, too. It can't be fun doing the same thing over and over, feeling more like an automaton than a human being.

Just show that you care!!! Help a brother or Sista out if in need! Give a hug when someone need it! I think hugs say a lot. Treat people the way you would like to be treated!!

I will, as usual, have a loving and kind attitude to all I encounter.
