I read an article about 'paying forward' and basically doing good without expecting anything in return.....

I think even a smile counts

It depends upon whom one smiles  ……….

It feels really good to know you've helped someone.
Someone talked to me today about some problems they'd been having, and after talking to me, they decided what to do about the problem and felt better.
That felt really good for me.

Yes, listening and being present is a wonderful skill. Often all people want is to be heard, not to be advised or 'fixed'. Most times, they find the answer within themselves. You were a good friend, dandelion. This person must have sensed how empathic you are.

Yes, lack in empathy terrifies me sometimes after I talked to people. Smile is the other thing - so rare. I see a chip on a shoulder in most cases, often two. And quick judgement all time.

Everyone needs smile!

You are wise women. I wished I was around you!

Take care!

Thank you.

When a stranger smiles in passing, I feel uplifted, so I try to do the same.
