I just posted about this on my Thursday, but wow, giving people a painted rock in person really brightens my day. It happened last Monday at work, this Sunday in the Starbucks drivethrough (which Steven got to witness, so that was special), and yesterday at the post office.

They were all so delighted and thankful for something so small, and in turn, it completely lifted my mood (especially yesterday, when I really needed it).

I should be more purposeful about using this as a little mood hack: always keeping a rock on hand, ready to share when someone (me?!) could use a surprise smile. I’ve oddly gotten out of the practice of always having one on me!
