Sept. 22 - Simple Smiles

Day 264 of a year of kindness

My kindness today was simple. I celebrated the first day of fall by smiling and saying hello to everyone who crossed my path. I was mindful of paying attention to the people around me and being extra friendly. It was a beautiful crisp, autumn day and I felt lucky to be celebrating fall on my own two feet.

Science of Kindness: Research proves that smiling triggers the release of feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin—not just in you, but in the person you’re smiling at. It’s a neurological gift that can lift someone’s mood. #kindnessmatters #kindness #smile
