I was joining the chaos dropping my 13 year old into school. The roads are always rammed with traffic people struggling to get to where they need to and not acting or feeling very courteous to one another. I was in a position to help by letting a car out that was very much stuck by oncoming traffic. Well after letting one out there was another three trying to get out following the first so I let them all out. Very big smiles and waves off the ones whose Monday morning had just been made that little bit easier. Then there was a man looking very desperate as he was trying to walk across the road but was stuck in the middle whilst cars went past on both sides rushing the best they could to get to where they needed to be. So I again having a generous moment stopped to let him cross and again another huge smile was aimed in our direction.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family:'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">My daughter is just silently observing when we started discussing just what the ripple effect of acting and living this way could be. Lets say the drivers of the four cars that I helped out where feeling that much better about their Monday morning that they stopped to do the same for others and the man feeling happier also passed on a kind gesture to another. Then the ones they helped feeling better did the same hopefully by the end of play today a lot of people will have walked through their Monday performing kind acts and helping each other out more hence the ripple effect of just trying to treat others how we like to be treated. Just quite a nice morning of pondering on how a kind gesture no matter how small can in effect ripple out and hopefully create more kind gestures... My daughter smiled and you could see the light bulb go on she got the meaning of it. There's a nice song it reminds me of with lyrics in it "find a feeling pass it on"</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family:'comic sans ms', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BxBfQLHykfI">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BxBfQLHykfI</a></span></p><p><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family:'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Love Lou <3</span></p></div>
