Can we just put these EVERYWHERE?

I love little examples like this of kindness in the world. I feel like I'm always so surrounded by what's wrong with the world -- the violence, the inequality, the power struggles, whatever -- that I forget to take time to marvel at the beauty and wonder and just love of others. Human beings have such potential for goodness and even though, really, all this is, is a sheet of paper... it's so much more than that.

    I love this. The person who did this should take the 'gratitude' tab.

    I find there are always times I stop and think - what the hell am I doing? Times when I feel like I haven't looked around properly for ages or haven't said a nice word in days.

    Thanks for the reminder!

    This is such, such a lovely idea. And I just adore what you said about it - especially this line "I forget to take time to marvel at the beauty and wonder and just love of others"
    YES. Because it's there, it IS there. It's just so easy to get caught up in myself and not to look.
    Love it.

    Gosh, I love this. Everyone has days they just want to disappear and get swallowed up into the earth - goodness knows I do - and it's little things like these that just make everything else going on a little more bareable. It's little things like these that make the world a bit less scary.

    Agreed. CAN WE PUT THESE UP EVERYWHERE?! I think we should. <3

    - May :)

    That is such an awesome image and a brilliant idea, I could see that putting a smile on someone's face, especially after a bad day!
