It’s Wednesday my sweetums…and you KNOW what that means…ta-da….RANDOM ACTS OF ART!  Whoo-hoo, that’s right. Time to spread some luvvvv one arty token at a time.

RANDOM ACTS OF ART…make a little arty something. Hide it in public where someone can eventually find it. Photograph the hidey spot and share it with the rest of us online.

In my case, that means little bitty painted heart rocks. Easy to make. Easy to hide. And weatherproof.

This week I decided to plant some love at the local hospital. I mean, who doesn’t need cheering up when they’re sick, right?  And it just so happens I had an excuse to be there. Friend Amee’s Granny took up temporary residence with a broken leg. And I am a sucker for little old ladies. I took care of Mama for seven years and one thing I know for sure is they love company. Doesn’t matter if they know you or not. Someone popping in to say hi and hold a hand for a few minutes is a day-maker for sure.

So I drove to the hospital after work. I planted the first rock on a concrete thing just off the walkway between the parking lot and the main building. Plain site hide if someone is looking at the ground.

This is the entrance to the main building. The blue benches on the left are a bus stop.

Well, someone waiting for the bus after visiting their loved one could use a little cheering up, don’t you think?

As I walked through the lobby I left one on the newspaper rack. Maybe it would balance out the ugly stuff in the paper.

I found Granny’s room. Walked in an introduced myself. Then I reached in my pocket and gave her a rock.

Here it is on the bedside table. Seeing her there reminded me so much of Mama. Oh man, I love little old ladies. We chatted for a couple of minutes but I didn’t want to wear her out. I told her I’d be back and next time I’ll bring her a cookie.

On the way out I stopped at the nurse’s station. I explained what I was doing, what Random Acts of Art is all about. YAY! They were enthusiastic. Oh, yes they were! I gave them the last rocks I had in my pocket and they promised to hand them out in the unit. Who knows…maybe I have a couple more RAA converts on board.
