This! Happy World Kindness Day ❤️

In a world that often feels divided, let's remember the power of kindness.

Today, on World Kindness Day, let's celebrate the small acts that make a big difference. In a small town like ours, kindness is more than just a word; it's a way of life. It's about embracing each other, lifting each other up, and creating a community where no one feels bullied or left out, and EVERYONE feels valued and heard.

Let's commit to spreading kindness, one smile, one act of service, and one kind word at a time. Together, we can build a kinder, more compassionate world.

Ready for a spooky tale? 👻👻

You’ll see two pictures attached to this post.

The first is from Monday, September 30 at night (times listed on pic). The second is from Tuesday, October 1.

Most Friday nights i go into the shop to open for a little after work. I use that time to reset the store, bring new items in, etc.

After i was there for a while this past Friday night, i noticed a broken pumpkin on the floor by our big table. I said out loud “ugh, what are you doing breaking my pumpkin?” I picked up the pumpkin from the floor and found the stem under our pumpkin stack at the front of the table. I figured it “fell” off of the table. 🎃

Tonight Gary pulled up video that the cameras caught. These spirits are totally messing with our cameras because after checking out all of our video, these are the only things we could get!!! Videos ending at 9 pm on Monday and not picking up anything else until after 6 am on Tuesday. 👻

Area of found pumpkin circled - before and after. So it happened during the night from Monday and Tuesday. 🎃

AND as you can see, there was no pumpkin on the table, so it didn’t “fall off” from the long table. It “fell off” from some other table….amd then rolled into place. Breaking off the stem along the way and finding it about 3 feet from the pumpkin itself. 🎃

Not sure what we need to do to be able to actually catch it on video!!! But it sure would be wild to do so!! 👻

Was just excited to share with you! 👻👻👻
