The Kindness of a Sunbeam

"Here is a little habit that can make a big difference.  Send sunbeams.  Intentionally send a word of encouragement or appreciation every day to one person."
~ Steve Goodier

I have a friend who regularly sends and gives sunbeams. In fact, I suspect she may be a sunbeam herself.  Whenever you see her, you have to smile because she walks up smiling.  She seems to see the positive in every situation.  On a recent night, my children and I were at her house way past any reasonable hour.  As we were leaving, I said that I hoped we had not overstayed our welcome.  The next day, I texted her to say thank you and once again I apologized for staying late.  She replied, "I loved having you over -- would have been perfectly happy with a later night..."  Yep, I think that was a sunbeam!
