Taking a break from my work I came up with a project for myself. I was thinking what does this world need? The answer: The world needs more smiles. Then I had to think of something I love to do and am good at, which is origami. From there I thought of this book I saw one day at the library called Knit Bombing (I think) about people who go around knitting on different things like trees, benches, lamp posts, this of the sort. So I decided to take that idea and use it.
And so this idea was born:
Fold something new each day and then leave it in plain view with a note for someone to come along and pick up, read, and smile. I will put a picture of this model and the note in my blog each day. I will start this project April first.
Other inspirations for this project came from the following:

And the fact that one time I was smiling and someone asked what was wrong. I said that nothing was wrong and they gave me a weird look. This made me think and I came to the conclusion that they gave me a weird look because it is rare for someone to smile in public around strangers.
So go out and smile among strangers maybe you will find an origami model with a note for yourself.
