Handing Out Valentines

As it turned out, handing out valentines and treats was canceled! So, instead my friend and I decided to do Random Acts of Kindness and hand out the valentines to random people! We started off at the Canada Line handing them out, but sadly not much luck and a whole lot of valentines. But then my friend spotted a nearby Starbucks! At first, the manager said no, but then really understood that we were just trying to brighten up people's days. We went around handing all the valentines out, with smiles wider than watermelons! The appreciation is really what kept us moving. Some people offered to buy us a cup of cocoa, but we said the best pay we could get was a smile. Although we declined the kind favours, many kind people gave us treats, and we even got a letter from a very nice man that we gave a valentine to. All the smiles and compliments made me beam with happiness, and the surprised smiles filled up the Starbucks to the brim! The true message of this is really just: Have the need to make someone smile, and really want to brighten someone's day, because if you don't really want to be out there, what's the point? You'll see that you can make a day sunny, even when it's pouring out! Thanks for reading, and tune in for more stories about Community Service and don't ever forget to inspire and be inspired!
