    I need to do this more! one time I was at store, and the checkout girl looked like she had been crying. She was young, had a face full of acne, and looked like she was so sad. I bought her a chocolate rose and gave it to her, and told her she was beautiful, and that I knew growing up was hard, and that I saw her. The look of joy that came on her face and her thanks was so sweet, and makes me wish I could do that for everyone! I made her day!

    I get acts of kindness from a DJ on my local radio. His name is Mark. I call him anywhere from 1 to 5 times a week. I have been making less calls lately because I email him now. But still call him on an average of once a week. I know answering the phone is part of his job but it still makes me feel special when he talks to me. Some of the conversations are really just a half a minute long once in a while maybe two minutes. I believe Mark is 45, I’m 72… 30% of my phone calls are in reference to music… He always seems to have the answer to my question! I’ve even told him several times… that I love him. Life is short and I just wanted him to know that! Thank you DJ Mark… and, I love you! 😊📻🎶💙 BOOP!
