		<description>Like trying to shove upright luggage under the seat in front of you, it only makes everyone miserable! Check that bad mojo by being nice!</description>

		<description>Corrina -- But it&#039;s the little things like letting people ahead of you in traffic that changes their mood, even if only for a moment! I&#039;m convinced it&#039;s what keeps us all sane, these little acts of kindness. Win-win is right-right!</description>

		<description>Gosh, I honestly don&#039;t remember the last random act of (stranger) kindness I received. I do try to be courteous to others though. Silly things like letting people into traffic or my lane, or going above and beyond for people at work. I think when you make things just a little easier for other people- it makes your life less stressful too. Win-win. :-)

		<description>It was kismet!  I swear it!  Once I posted the &quot;hearty&quot; award on my blog, I raced around to the blogs I threw my heart to and simply threw comments at them to let them know they were recipients.  I hadn&#039;t even read this post yet! 

Anyway, you&#039;re very welcome.  Thank YOU for the laughs!

		<description>brooke -- Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and...

Richard Catto -- Oh, geez. I&#039;ll stop now.

Vera -- Yesterday a colleague I hadn&#039;t seen in a while asked me if I lost weight. (I hadn&#039;t). I hugged her. And that set the tone for the rest of my day. I couldn&#039;t have been happier that someone thought I looked thinner!</description>

		<description>&quot;It doesn’t take a huge donation to charity to change the world. All it takes are simple acts of kindness. It costs you nothing and pays big.&quot;

How true!

		<description>How about a spontaneous funny moment? I take orders at the drive-thru where I work and this lady was in the process of ordering multiple items when her passenger pipes up with &quot;...and a partridge in a pear tree&quot;! It really made our day since a lot of people are so snippy first thing in the morning and only want their coffee!

		<description>Claire -- That&#039;s OK, I won&#039;t tell anyone you&#039;re getting soft. Have a blast on your trip! And keep showing kindness, even when you feel bitchy. It&#039;ll throw everyone off!

Annie -- Bless you for not pushing her down! I do think half the crankiness in the world would evaporate if people would just give others a break now and then. I mean, didn&#039;t we learn this in kindergarten?

Mimi Lenox -- Yes! And not always searching for the next thing to say. I always have to work on that -- just listening. I&#039;m a lousy conversationalist anyway. Smiles!

Alex -- Absolutely. Throws people off a little and the feeling can last the whole day. What a gift. {{hugs}}</description>

		<description>Just a simple smile matters to me. I really appreciate every little kindness, most especially when it comes from people whom you least expect it to come from. 
Who needs a hug right now? I do.
