Act of Kindness

Act of Kindness

Have you ever found a nickel, dime, quarter, etc. as you were shopping, playing in the park or taking a walk? How did you feel as you made such a discovery, no matter the denomination? I know I've experienced a "feel-good" moment!

When we recently had dinner at our friend's home in Shoreline, we noticed a number of 50 cent pieces lying on his kitchen counter. When asked what he was doing with all those coins, his first reply was "Do you want one?" He then told us how he loves to "surprise" others.

In the past, our friend has seen the smiles on people's faces when they've found a coin on the ground, and he wanted more individuals to enjoy that same "feel-good" moment. So he decided to go to places like a park and "hide" coins which could easily be found. Not too long ago this family's sweet dog passed away, so our friend placed his dog's name on the coin as a remembrance. (Maybe you've found one of those coins?)

Our friend is doing something that brings him joy, knowing it will also bring a little joy to others. Kudos to him and all the other kind individuals that make this world a happier place!
