The Power Of A smile My 5 year old daughter and I went to eat at a restaurant, she on one side of the booth, me on the other. She kept smiling to someone who was on the other side of the aisle, who was behind me throughout our entire meal. It was an elderly man eating alone. I asked her what she was smiling at and she said that old man. I asked her what he was doing and she said he is just smiling back...hes nice. I decided we were going to buy his dinner, so I went to the counter and asked for his bill to be transferred to mine. The server asked if I knew him, which I did not...she said I couldnt have picked a nicer person to do this for and the timing was good too. This gentleman was a regular there who just lost his wife of 60 years only 5 weeks ago. My daughter drew a big crayon smiley face on her napkin that we had his server take to him in place of his bill. We discreetly left the restaurant as we saw the server on his way to his table with the smiley napkin. Random acts of kindness are things I hope my daughter incorporates into her life as well.
