Surprised By... Kindness!

Terry and I were recently walking through one of our favorite river-view parks when we noticed  colorful chalk writing on the sidewalk...

Terry paused to read it... Was it a game?

No - it was a words of encouragement...

Be the reason why someone believes in the goodness of people #happyottawa

We continued walking...

Before long, we found another:

Don't just be good to others
Be good to you
#happyottawa

Then another!

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax
#happyottawa

And another!

Look at all the beauty in your life and be happy
#happyottawa

The final one we saw summed them all up:

Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly and most underrated agent of human change #happyottawa
