Featured Small Act

Who ever said that a small act has to be done on a small scale? In the Twin Cities area in Minnesota there is a radio station who truly encourages people to join together and make other people's days brighter. The radio station is called KTIS. The mission: The Drive-thru Difference. 

The Drive-Thru Difference is the act of anonymously paying for the person behind you while in the drive-thru. Whether you are buying their breakfast, a coffee, or a dinner, you are absolutely bound to make their day. Amazingly enough however, the day brightening effect doesn't seem to stop at the person who's meal you've bought. It also seems to make the employees at the restaurant quite happy as well. After all, isn't simply witnessing an act of kindness grand in itself? 

KTIS dedicates specific Fridays as "Drive-thru difference days" but they encourage you to perform this act of kindness whenever you feel you have the means. If you want, you can even download a note to leave for the person who's meal you've paid for. It's a very sweet note that ends with "I hope that this encourages you today!" Well now... who do you know that couldn't use just a little more encouragement? Truly lovely! 

If you wish to download the note, or learn more about the KTIS Drive-Thru Difference you can do so at http://www.ktis.fm/2010/06/drive-thru-difference-2/

Whether you go through this process with the radio station in mind or not, I highly encourage you to do it. Not only is it incredibly fun, but it truly does brighten people's day in a wonderful and simple way. This is why I chose to feature this Small Act. :-)
