Remember that bush with the one white flower among a million purple ones? Today I was surprised to find a couple of "half-breed" flowers, partially white and partially purple - of the blue variety of purple. How interesting! Grace is spreading.
Many good things are catching. Smiles. Kind words. Positive outlooks. We fuss so much about not spreading things like the flu - at the library there are containers of hand sanitizer everywhere, signs in the bathrooms reminding us to wash our hands, blurbs in the weekly newsletters instructing us how to behave when we do get sick.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had the same multi point campaign to spread goodwill? Mirrors posted in convenient places reminding us to smile. Signs in the bathroom instructing us to use clean and encouraging words when we speak to each other. Blurbs in the weekly newsletters bragging about people who did kind deeds.
Seems like it should work to spread things we value equally as well as it stops unwanted behaviors, don't ya think?
