If you didn't read my last post, I talked about how today I was going to run AMOK (Annual Melee of Kindness) by going around to random people who were shopping and wish them a happy Annual Melee of Kindness. Then, I would hand them a heartfelt, handwritten card about life and living and cherishing every little thing. Later, I'd go out to the parking lot and tag cars with sticky notes with messages saying, “Have a beautiful day!” or “You’re awesome!” Or even, “I love your car!” Well, all I have to say is mission accomplished! It was fun and it felt really good to make people happy, and the reactions I got to the notes were usually smiles and thanks. But some people were shocked, as if they had never gotten such a card before. I hope I made their day though. The most memorable one was this one lady who I was wary to approach at first because she looked angry and pouty. I went up to here anyway and wished her a happy AMOK day and gave her the card. Her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and the most beautiful look of gratitude crossed her face. She thanked me dearly and told me what a kind and beautiful gesture this was. I’m glad I made some people’s days a little lighter, to say the least. It was really fun too! I’m looking forward to doing it again next year!
