At work I've been talking up the "101 in 1001" and a lot of my coworkers are starting their own... my friend Amy decided her first day would be today... and by the time I got to work she already had an AMAZING story...I told her she had to blog about it (but since she doesn't have a blog I'm going to share it with you)...
Before work Amy was going to Starbucks with her Dad... while waiting in line she noticed a young girl (mid 20s) dressed cute with a short hair-do in line by her... as she was thinking about how pretty this girl was and how she looked like Halle Berry she remembered her list. One of her "tasks" was to compliment a stranger- so she turned to the girl and said, "Has anyone ever told you you look like Halle Berry?" The girl started crying... and after what felt like minutes (imagine what was going through my friend's head)- the girl told Amy she was a cancer survivor and her hair was just growing back... she told Amy that it was the nicest thing anyone had ever said to her. Of course Amy (being an emotional girl herself) joined in the tears and hugged the girl- continuing their bonding moment in the Starbucks line. Meanwhile Amy's Dad was concerned and confused watching on... Amy explained everything to him on her walk to work as she continued to wipe her tears (yes- she had to touch up her make- up).
When she told me the story I cried too (and she cried some more)- I couldn't believe what a touching moment had occurred all because of a little list... I <3 Amy- she's got such a beautiful heart and I just think this story is a cute reminder of the little things in life :)

that's an awesome story.
once when i was pregnant, a girl working at the deli told me i looked beautiful and i almost cried. i think we should all compliment strangers more :)
simply inspirational. We all need to do this more often; stick our necks out and do something nice.
