Today has been a discouraging day. The large pile of homework sitting in front of me, coupled with all of the intolerance I've found myself witnessing lately has really brought me down. So I decided to take a break, and try to cheer myself up the best way I know how... by starting a project on a whim that attempts to change the depressing atmosphere around me by encouraging others to engage in small acts of kindness and love. It was either that, or buy myself a chai latte! ;)
This is a short blog post because nothing has happened yet, but I'd really like it if you all could check out (and maybe participate) in the little chain of happy thoughts that I am trying to start!
Quoted from my personal blog:
After finishing a post- secret for homework in one of my classes, I took out an extra index card and wrote a message on it that challenges the finder to brighten someone else’s day (how vague can I get, right?) and then pass the challenge on to someone else.
At the bottom of that message I decided to direct people here.
Why don’t you do the same?
If we all make an index card with an instruction, and then place it somewhere random. We could start a revolution! (Or, at the very least, make someone smile.)
Then people can come back here, and post what they did and how they passed it on.
How big will it get? Only one way to find out…
When I was younger one week I bought sunflowers to hand out to people to make them happy!
My motto is: if i can make one person smile my day was worth it!
I hope this gets huge!!!!

Good luck
