Today, your mission is:
Leave a space nicer than it was when you arrived.
One of the messages I learned from my Girl Scout days is: “always leave a place nicer than it was when you arrived.”
Still, today, decades after those scout meetings, I make an effort to leave each place I visit a little nicer than it was when I got there.
I pick up toys after a playdate, throw away trash in the park, and steer a runaway grocery cart back into it’s corral. Every little bit makes a difference.
What will you do today to leave your space nicer than it was when you arrived?
Too funny Brandi! Last week, while shopping in a store on the plaza, I saw a shirt that had fallen off of a hanger and just naturally picked it up from the floor and hung it back up. Like, you, its just “what I do”. One of the employees stopped, looked right at me and said “did you just hang that shirt up?” At first, from the look on her face, I thought she was upset with me. Then she broke into a huge smile and thanked me profusely! That one small act made her day brighter, and made me smile the rest of the day!
