Kindness and Random Smiles and Sounds

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.  These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."
~ Joseph Addison

As I rushed through an airport this week, I smiled at an airline employee who was pushing an empty wheelchair,  He smiled back; I smiled inside.  As I tried to make my way from one concourse to another in an unfamiliar airport, I opted for the moving walkways.  Oops, this one was not working.  As I walked across the metal non-moving walkway, I heard beautiful piano music.  A gentleman was playing a piano in an open area between two concourses.  I turned toward the music and smiled, feeling my spirits lift.  And I saw other people turn toward the music and smile, too.
