F. bought a bunch of bubbles from party city this weekend and we had a lot of fun playing with them.  This afternoon was a beautiful day.  It was warm, with a slight breeze, we were all just hanging out at the house and in the backyard.  I was blowing bubbles and watching them float away and a thought came to me.  Maybe bubbles exude happiness or at least…maybe they could.  After all, we  were having a lot of fun just playing with them and watching them.  It was so simple, so innocent.  What would happen if we stood somewhere with a good amount of foot traffic and just started blowing bubbles everywhere?  Maybe some people would get mad, but maybe it would make some people happy and just brighten up their day.  Maybe, they would want to join us.

Those thoughts were kind of driven by one of the things Jaeson Ma did for his 365 Days of Love campaign where he stood on the streets of Los Angeles and danced if people honked.  He just wanted to put a smile on people’s faces on a Friday afternoon.  It also made me think of Where the Hell is Matt?  P. had told me about this guy before.  He traveled around the world to do one silly little dance and had people all around the world join him.  Sure, it was backed by advertisement but it was so simple.  People were so happy to just dance.

Maybe bubbles can put a smile on someone’s face.
