Lovely video, Heather. I am off to the supermarket this morning. I will take up your challenge to say good morning to everyone I pass by and maybe even give a little compliment or two. I will let you know how it went.
Small acts of kindness are like the flu and covid viruses over the holidays - extremely contagious and everywhere but fortunately they carry zero risks to your health. Feel free to take them in and savor.
Lovely video. I don’t want to toot my own horn but I do this wherever I go— except the parking lot or gas station. There have been hold ups and car jackings in these places so I switch my KM mode to AA— Alert Awareness. It takes little energy to be kind and it feeds my soul.
The 2004 movie Crash is the exact opposite of the wonderful vid you posted. In Crash, everybody hates everybody, but somehow every person involved feels pangs of regret for how they treat one another. I like the idea of ripples of happiness, and I suspect not a few dogs would welcome its human coming home happy instead of a mood.
I wrote an article on letting people out at junctions, I do it every morning and it makes me feel good and I see the rippling of the car in front also doing it when they get a chance 🥰
What a lovely and kind comment, thank you so much for sharing my post... It's so lovely to meet you too Heather, I love how Substack is helping me find my people, the people who motivate me and entertain me and teach me new ways to think about the world... Thanks for sharing the link to your piece on the science of negativity, I'll remember that it takes 5 positive feelings to overcome a negative one and try to find as many ways to make people smile in my corner of the world as I can! 🥰

People are so kind during this time of year. Why not make it the rule instead of the exception?
Nice! Lots of ripples. AKA "The Butterfly Effect". One of my favorite effects!
Just got a chance to watch this video today. Thank you for posting it Heather. I'm going to send it to my grandkids.
