I came out of a store the other day and found this note on my car’s window. In case you can’t make it out, it says, “Very cool car!!!” At the bottom, printed, is “operationbeautiful.com”.
I do have a very cool car. And my very cool car is very flippin’ filthy. But that dirt didn’t deter the kind soul who left the note. And the note inspired me to go online to see just what the heck “Operation Beautiful” is anyway.
This appears on the website’s mission page: “The mission of Operation Beautiful is to post anonymous notes in public places for other people to find. The point is that WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL. You are enough… just the way you are!” It seems to be geared toward girls, aged 8 to 14, and everything I saw was beyond positive. Super cool, huh?
I happened to have been in the middle of a perfectly fine day when I read that note. I was pretty smiley already, and the note just broadened my joy. I’m mighty grateful to know there are folks out there whose sole purpose is to spread soul sunshine. And how lucky am I to have received a golden ray.
Smiles for all my friends!
