Smile


 I don't know if this was photoshopped but it is delightful nonetheless!

On the importance of being kind,  I saw this story of a Toronto restaurant Leziz Kitchen, that was giving leftover food to the poor and often hungry.  The owner said dying with money is not the (material) legacy she wants to leave behind, she would rather be remembered for having fed the hungry, leaving a meaningful memory.

Sure does look Photoshopped and, not very well 😜

But anyways, I love the message - smile more often, it's free! 👍🏻

It's so easy to be miser, but more easier to be kind! Right?

It looks fab. At first I did think it was photoshopped, then the more I looked at it, I thought it was real? Good either way :-D

That is amazing well done to her. Some places do that over here. But most end up in the recycling, which could go to better use surely. There are a lot of hungry people in Scotland and with these hard times just now, so many food banks everywhere :-(

I always hate the thought of throwing away perfectly good food; good for her!
