What a Wonderful World
Judy Glick-Smith sent the following story.
She was sitting in a Waffle House with her daughter Kieki and her grand daughters, Jordan, aged 8, and Hannah, aged 6, on a beautiful Georgia day with blue skies and big white puffy clouds.
Hannah wanted to play the juke box and Kieki gave her a quarter. The little girl picked the Rod Stewart version of “What a Wonderful World.”

She came back and sat on her mother’s lap and started to sing along. Her sister Jordan then jointed in.
Judy suddenly noticed that everyone in the Waffle House had stopped eating and was singing. There was an elderly man who reached across the table to hold his wife’s hand. It was a moment caught in time. For Judy the power of that song was unmistakable, it connects everything.

well i remember a similar episode of little things do great things or gentle action, some years ago when was in the uk i noticed how polite the car drivers were(albeit to say this may now not be the case)they raised their hands in acknowledgement of you allowing them to go ahead of them or just a common road courtesy, in australia there was not any such courtesy. well on arriving back in australia i started raising my hand in acknowledgement of a road courtesy, well i don’t know if other poeple started at the same time as me or i started a trend but now everyone tips their hand as a coutesy for a road favour. just imagine how the world can be changed!
