It wasn't that I was extremely upset, but I just wasn't smiling or having a good time. This older gentleman stepped out in my way and i stopped and he looked at me and just said, "Smile it can't be that bad." And it was so true. Half the time we're just running through the motions. We need to live life, and i need to be reminded of that regularly. One day my mom and I drove by the library and she had me get out and run the books to the return.

It's short and sweet, but people will admire the fact that you mailed a whole letter just telling them to smile! Send a letter in the mail with a card that says “Smile. :) ” and that’s all.

If I see a stray animal on the street, I help it if it will come to me. I once crossed paths with a dog that had ID on his collar. The phone number had been disconnected but so I called the veterinarian office listed on the rabies tag. I finally got in touch with the owners. They had to leave town unexpectedly and while they were gone, the dog got out. They were still out of town and were completely freaked out that they could not get to the dog and I could not keep him at my apartment. I assured them that I had their dog and that he would be taken care of some how some way. We decided that I would take him to a vet that also boarded dogs. They called the vet and gave their credit card information to pay for the stay. They were so thankful that they wanted to give me money for what I had done. I absolutely refused and told them that I could only hope that someone would help my dog if the same thing happened to me. I can guarantee that helping this animal gave these people new faith in humanity. I don't mean to sound like I did this great thing. I mean to say that I am a responsible human being and it is refreshing to see people taking care of each other. Another way to brighten someone’s day is to be considerate.

In Dharamsala in Himachal there are lots of ladies who have babies just so they can beg for expensive milk. Then when you buy them the milk they sell it back to the shop owner and make a big profit. What to do...? Very sad. It is very sad.
