29-Day Giving Challenge

Today I gave out lots of smiles at work.  I greet each student that comes in, but since it is in a testing arena, I do so in silence so my smile is my greeting.  I also smiled at people in the hallways.  I realize sometimes people are tired or in a bad mood or just in their own world, so I just do a quick eye contact and smile so they know I acknowledged them, but nothing is expected in return.  I got a gift at the grocery tonight too.  When the cashier scanned the beer I was getting she jokingly asked, "Did you just turn 21 this week?!"  That got a smile AND a laugh from me.  Isn't it cool how the smallest things can make someone's day?
