A Smile

Smiling is infectious you catch it like the flu,

When someone smiled at me today I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner and someone saw me grin,

When he smiled I realised I'd passed it onto him,

I thought about that smile and understood it's worth,

A single smile like yours can travel round the Earth.

So if you feel a smile take shape,

Don't  leave it undeteated,

Let's start an epidemic quick

And get the world infected.

I think your idea it wonderfull..... love and light..... Lisa x

Oh neat,takes a Minti magic jentlemen to start the Minti magic spreading of good vibes! What a sweet idea!

Random acts of kindness make the world go round. Here are a few you can do so easily, just smile at people...it really makes their day.  When in a shop, a long line, grab a magizine to read to reduce your frustration and not nag on the gal behind the cash register, if you're off for a coffee to Dunkin Donuts through the drive through, just pay a buck to give the guy behind you a free coffee as you drive off...on the highway, pay the toll for the fellow/gal behind you...

I loved to bring my mom flowers 'just because'  a bit of baby's breath, a single tea rose wraped in paper can be  had for only a few dollars...flowers are wonderful gifts and wonders of nature.....either and both bring a smile that will last for nearly a week! when viewed and a feeling of comfort because of the act of love of giving

What an excellent idea you seem like a really kind and caring person jenlemen.

I have done this too!! Great idea.

i have spread my minti magic and i have a few close friends who have gone through issues but i choose this one person as one of there blogs made me cry

Hi there, I did my little bit I really hope that no matter what every one has written that everyone got something out of it...

This is a great Idea.. Keep them coming...

Wow, go you!!! What an awesome Idea. Currently I am focusing on Cazza who is going thru a bit of a rough trot. We talk daily on MSN and Ive paid her lounge and blogs a visit. There are many more members on here that I am keeping a close eye on but she is going thru a similar situation as me, and we were very close anyway, so thats why I have chosen her.

Dear Jen,

                       This is what Minti is all about "Minti Magic".....there is alot of people out there that are having a bad trot at the momment...... and it doesn't take much to stretch out your hand in friendship, support, encouragement or a gentle tap on the  shoulder to say i'm here for you.

I know for me, that last 2 weeks would have been  hard to bare without the overwhelming love and support from everyone.....i thankyou each & everyone of you. When the pain is bearable, i'm still trying to get around minti , popping in a little hug or a thought  that i hope will make a difference to someone's life....but most of all keeping a gentle eye on all my friends.

Thanks's Jen, this is a lovely thought.

Hugs Janice

What a fantastic idea good on you for doing this nLOL

You don't have to be a Minti member to share magic, i tried to a few times in the last 2 weeks. My old friend next door died of cancer and i tried to comfort his wife of 52 years that was one time. The other was a good friends father died last week and i did the same thing a little talk and a cuddle works wonders. It's surprising what little things like that can do.

Fantastic idea.  I did it.  If I win, can you give it to one of the people who need it more than me.  What a beautiful heart you have,  there is not enough of this in the world today.   I train people in a program called  Fish! & a couple of the key principles are "Be There" and "Make Their Day"   This concept covers both!   Well done.   Rach

Its a fab idea, I did mine today also, Em x

I have left sooo many support messages, i feel as though I am smothering members!  Janice, Ellosunshine, Izzy, Marg and soooo many more.

Spreading the love is a great thing, and no matter how bad I feel, I can always find it in me to be supportive and caring for other members.

What a lovely idea and I have come on here to do just that, spread some positive vibes tonight. Thanks Jen we need this every day and without incentive but it is a very generous offer. That is so nice of you! Lynette xx

What a great idea Jen

I've done mine !!!!

great idea jen an incentive to leave good natured comments  for everyone and to cheer up those most in need

Hi Jen, as DW said, I already do visit these blogs regularly... I also find it is nice to seek out newer members who have no replies in their blogs, and give them a bit of a Minti welcome too.

There are many member's who don't blog publicly about the negative or harder aspects of their every day lives as well, so let's not assume that they don't need a bit of Minti Magic too.

What a  Great and loving Idea..

 For me i love being there for my friends, and the support on here when one is sick, sad or happy  from other minti members is great...

I have participated in your Minti magic..

What a lovely idea and offer!  i often go to the three blogs you mentioned but i'd just like to say visit anyone's blog and leave some words or comments because not everyone tells of their daily trials.  But just being Mum, parent, cook, cleaner, taxi, soccer coach and all the millions of other jobs we do as parents is reason enough for some encouraging words.

I participated!!

Great idea to spread some cheer & love to those who need it the most
