[Ohio-talk] FW: Thank You

[Smith, JW]

Dear NFBO Family, Friends and Colleagues:

I am sharing the message below with you not to "toot my own horn" or to show what a great person I am, but to demonstrate how significant a random act of kindness can impact another fellow human being!

I don't know about you, but some of the news and events lately really make me want to do all that I can to be a positieve influence in the lives of all that I meet and encounter in my journey through life these days.

Also, it made me smile and I hope that it makes you smile as well and perhaps can help you have a wonderful day today ok?

READ ON!

Hi Dr. Smith,



Yesterday, I went to Whit's to complete an entry in my gratitude journal over a cup of tea. I'm a graduate student in the College Student Personnel and Critical Studies in Educational Foundations programs at OU. My income is my graduate stipend, so it's always kind of a tough decision for me to splurge on a treat out rather than staying home to enjoy a cheaper option, especially in the summer when my stipend is not disbursed.



At Whit's, I got set up, made an intentional effort to relax and get into a positive mindset for the week, and then learned that you had paid for my drink. I genuinely appreciate that so much. Thank you!



I'm working with Dr. Pete Mather on a study that utilizes Positive Psychology and Appreciative Education. We're plan to integrate acts of kindness into our curriculum with our UC 1000 course this fall. Your act of kindness will undoubtedly surface as a bright spot in my summer, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with my students. Thank you again, Dr. Smith!



Best Regards,

Tessa Smith
