Save the World: without the Spandex

The way I see it, one person can make your whole day seem brighter. So today, make someone else feel better with these simple gestures:
1. 'Change the world, plant a tree'- pretty straightforward, plant a flower or sapling to help the environment clean up our mess. Not only is it beneficial for our planet, it's also really fun getting back to nature and taking time to really relax.
2. 'Change the world, with a smile'- ever walk down the street and there's this one person with a ridiculous grin plastered over their face? Be that person. Smiles are contagious, and if you got enough people to turn their frowns upside-down, they might actually take a moment to stop and see that life is worth living.
3. 'Change the world, do a good deed'- help someone with their shopping, give up your seat on a bus, hold a door open. Such small signs of kindness help people remember that courtesy and kindness are still alive in modern life. Even saying 'please' or 'thank you' can make someones day.
I hope this will make you feel a bit better today, and that you will make other people feel the same way I do whenever I get a comment :)
Hugs and kissies, Elly

... Does waving extremely enthusiastically at a stranger count? I mean, it's a fine, fine line between (pleasure and pain) brightening someone's day and frightening them to death...
I know you're a nice person and everything, a VERY nice person, but it would be great if once, just once, you gave your seat on the bus to ME. Doesn't mean I'd sit in it, just to know that I have it would make all the difference.

No. You embarrassed me on the bus, therefore you are not allowed INSIDE the bus, but are to be pulled along behind it with dental floss. Like that movie. You know which one..the one with that guy..and the dude and the chick.

You know what I mean.
Thanks for saying I'm nice by the way! :D

Aw, Elly. You made my... evening. Late evening. Night even.
Smooth talkin', Teagz.
Anyway.
*Smiles*
I did a good e-deed!

Hey it still counts if I didn't do it in real life, yeah?

Teagan - if you made someone else feel happy by doing some small act of kindness, you have completed what I set out to acheive by posting this, so WELL DONE TO YOU!

-Smiles are contagious, so get everyone infected!! But not with the Rage virus..then we'd be bombarded with freaky red-eyed zombies. Fast zombies. Zoombies. Not good.
