Daily Question, March 31

What might I do to help someone smile today?

  • Linda Roof

    I sent a photo of an Osprey sitting on her eggs to two wonderful friends, who ride bikes and walk at the same park. Like clock work the Osprey return year in and year out to same huge nest!

  • Malag

    I circulated a silly picture of the dog.

  • Kristi

    I fixed someone’s bell and polished it up- they were appreciative!

  • Don Jones

    Be blissful.

  • Dusty Su

    Thursday is my volunteer at a Charity Shop day. We serve people from every strata of society. Some of our customers are challenging personalities, while life deeply challenges others. When I show up as unconditional kindness, joy, with friendship at the helm, I can illicit rewarding smiles. Smile first, send the boomerang out and see it return.

  • Vincent-Edward Ciliberti

    By telling the person that most people, especially politicians, are altruistic.

  • Hot Sauce

    Sometimes, my dog smiles when we allow him to run around outside for a little bit and play with his ball. Maybe I can play with him for a while later this evening.

  • Michael Mac

    Do something that lets them know that you are mindful of them as a fellow human being, and that they matter. And do it with a smile.

  • GregC

    Remind them of something they find to be FUNNY!

  • Linda

    Smile at everyone I meet–it is my practice, even if they can’t see my mouth behind a mask, they can see my eyes!

  • Melissa

    I wave hello and smile if I am at a distance. I wave especially if I am wearing a mask.

  • Cathie

    Hold a door for someone, smile at a passerby, share a joke or funny story.

  • Lauryn

    Let them know how I appreciate them. Compliment them. Tell them I love them. Share with them something that makes me smile.

  • Elaine

    Can’t overthink this. Smiles and laughs are spontaneous, contagious – and caught organically. You can count on it!

  • Javier Visionquest

    You know what the “rule of thumb” is in the check-out line at MOM’s Organic Market?

    If the bar code scanner can’t find the PLU on the product you’re ringing, it’s probably because YOUR THUMB IS ON IT!

  • Antoinette

    Spend time talking and and smile at people . I can also help people put and hopefully that will make them happy.

    WHAT MIGHT YOU DO TO HELP SOMEONE SMILE TODAY?Thats funny, I don’t know a day or a few minutes that goes by and I do not make people laugh. However I was not always like that. In Public school the thought of being MY TRUE SELF was not accepted and I was bullied based off of things I had no control over let alone things I liked (Spice Girls etc). As I became older anxiety creeped in and my pain developed to FEAR and I was ANGER in Junior High School, in High School I was more friendly but still...

    WHAT MIGHT YOU DO TO HELP SOMEONE SMILE TODAY?Thats funny, I don’t know a day or a few minutes that goes by and I do not make people laugh. However I was not always like that. In Public school the thought of being MY TRUE SELF was not accepted and I was bullied based off of things I had no control over let alone things I liked (Spice Girls etc). As I became older anxiety creeped in and my pain developed to FEAR and I was ANGER in Junior High School, in High School I was more friendly but still guarded. NOW I am the child I always wanted to be, make people laugh and heal. What I WILL DO is record how many pple ,times I am able to make someone laugh. Challenge excepted FYI: For those of us who are more introverts start with a community that you share values with, I say that to say not everyone will laugh and the people degrading you and your humor are afraid of LOVE and operate off of FEAR, stay away from them until you have increased your confidence and no longer stress what other people think of you.

    Tickle them. (I’ll be with a 4 year old and a 16-month old today.)

  • SK

    By smiling behind my mask and letting my eyes say it all. By being hopeful for someone else’s circumstances.

  • sunnypatti

    I already made my husband smile by waking him up and telling him the coffee was ready 🙂
    Though we will be masked, I hope to make customers and coworkers smile when I go into work. And I’ll do so just by being kind, offering assistance, or maybe making a joke.

    • Javier Visionquest

      I have today off, SunnyPatti, but my entry for this morning is often how I begin training new front end staff. I’m the kinda hokey grandpa type around the shop but it makes them smile
