Someone brightened my day yesterday

[raspberrycordial]

Yesterday we went out for the day, while we were sat having our picnic the family next to us were having theirs. I'm not sure I have the family dynamic worked out as some of their ages were hard to work out but it seemed to be 3/4 parents with one set of grandparents and 5/6 grandchildren. The grandad (who seemed young-he was so sprightly) was full of such joy that it made me smile to watch him. He was handing food out to everyone, playing with the children, but really engaging with them one on one in such a genuine and absorbed way with them without being in their faces. It was like he was completely on their level and just such a happy contented person that it made me so happy to watch. I know there's no real point to the post, but it made me think that maybe we all affect people positively by being happy, but without even realising it.

What a lovely thread OP.

We all too often focus on the negative things in life

My day was brightened a little while ago just chatting to an elderly lady (stranger) who was so excited to be going away on holiday

I was on the train and they young man next time asked me to let him out of the window seat at his stop. He said thanks and his smile could have lit up 100 rooms it was as so bright and genuine. He made me feel happier.

aah that's lovely. I was at work yesterday (nhs) and one of the patients relatives gave me a packet of Maltesers for my tea break.
such a small thing but made such a difference to my afternoon
