I started Day 1 of the 9 Days of Giving. For my 9 days, I'm going to do some random acts of kindness by complimenting random people. At least one per day. Today, I did two.
The first one was at Metcalfe's by West Towne. I saw a woman that had really nice-looking short hair. Not "I'm giving up on trying to look good" short, but jaw-length. It looked nice, and I told her so. She looked a little unsure of why a stranger was complimenting her, so I told her about the 9 Days of Giving. Then she was like "oh yeah, that's really sweet." I could see the complete change in her facial expression from uncertainty to happiness. It was quite obvious that it had made a very positive impact on her day, which was nice.
The second one was at Target in Hilldale. I was on an aisle looking at picture frames and a woman was walking by. I smiled at her and she smiled back, so I said "you have a nice smile." She said "thank you" and kept on walking. I feel like her "thank you" was sincere, though.
