The littlest of things can entertain me. Regularly, I look at the barter section on
Craigslist to see what goods or services people are looking swap. If you can think it, there is someone wanting
to barter for it. This morning’s comedy was someone wanting to trade four
roosters for anything, and you know, someone will swap for them I’m sure.
I propose a different spin on bartering. How about you go out and barter hugs and
kindness for hugs and kindness with someone else?
When you give/get a good “boob” or heart connected hug, you
cannot help but feel better. Giving
energy from your heart is one of the best feelings in the world. I recall one time when my friend Sally and I
both needed a hug. We hugged for an easy
10 minutes. We let go of each other, smiled,
and then she said, “Okay, I’m better.”
Kindness can be anything from a smile to any random act of
kindness. For the most part, people cannot help but smile when you smile at
them and say hi. Last week I took Johnny
to the movies. When we walked up to the
get the tickets, he said, “Hi, how are you doing today?” to the ticket
clerk. She smiled and said, “I’m doing
great, how are you?” No matter the
situation, hugs and kindness are always game changers.
You Sunday Challenge should you decide to accept it, is to
go out and barter some hugs and kindness and report back. Let’s all make a little difference in the
world today. Happy Bartering!
