Kindness... Out of the Mouth of Babes

"The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Yesterday I found myself taking a gaggle of children to a school service activity.  I drive to this activity a couple of times a month because one of my children participates in it.  However, my child decided that she needed to meet with a teacher instead, so I had a carload of children, none of whom was mine.  As I was taking the children back to school, they were very polite and thanked me for driving them and for having snacks for them.  Then one of them said, "And you're always smiling."  She touched my heart and, of course, I figured I better keep smiling.
