You Never Know

“I dare you to make someone smile or laugh” (Robyn Beazley) this weekend while you are out and about. Last weekend John and I were doing errands around town; we took our recycling in and soaked in the rays. We were slowly driving through the community we live in, admiring the flowers and yard work being done by citizens.

We spotted a house that had gorgeous bunches of tulips in full bloom and as we approached the home, we saw a “more experienced” couple in the front yard attending to the weeds. The precious, frail lady was in a motorized wheelchair watching as a guy, I’m assuming her partner did the physical work. I asked John to slow down and pull over as we came to the front of their lot.

I hollered out, “Your yard is gorgeous!”

The couple smiled and thanked us.

I left them with, “I hope you two have an amazing day” and a smile.

It made my day to share with these two people how much I enjoyed the beauty of their yard and the work they, I can only hope that it made their day a bit more exciting.

Then we came to a 4 way intersection and a young boy was working on his bike. John slowed down and pulled beside him and asked,

“Do you want help fixing your bike?”

I don’t know what the little guy responded, but John got out and helped him put the chain back on his bike. The experience sent shivers through my body! I love seeing John interact with children, he’s going to make an awesome Dad, one day…not yet ;) and I was so proud of him for helping someone else having a fantastic day.

These stories and experience came to mind when I read the quote in, “My Daily Inspiration from WALKTHETALK.com”‏ (subscribe to have motivational quotes and videos sent to your Inbox)

“You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.” –Zig Ziglar

Do you look for ways to make people’s day more amazing? Simply with a grin or giggle?
