All it Takes is Chalk

Today, my friends and I had an early release day at school and got out at about 11:30.

We had decided to try to incorporate random acts of kindness into our lives last Sunday at our meeting for our charity group, Minga.

We brought sidewalk chalk to school and walked for a half hour from school into town writing nice messages on the sidewalk all the way. We came up with quite a few like, “Smile, it’s sunny”, “Peace”, “Have a great day!”, Give someone a hug”, and “Be happy”.

It was so rewarding to see people smile when they saw them and it’s thrilling how such a small gesture can really make a difference!

Now, whenever one of us is walking home, we’re always going to continue on the tradition!
