Giving my first smile card

Today I received my very first smile cards, and I couldn't wait to share one. I wasn't sure at first what I wanted to do, but I knew that I wanted my first card to accompany a random act of kindness for a stranger.
Since I was meeting my son for coffee at the conclusion of our work days, I put my first card and a bit of money into an envelope, and wrote on the outside "Have a nice day," thinking I could pass it on to one of the coffee shop's employees.
When we arrived, I ordered our coffees and handed the envelope to the woman who greeted us, telling her as I did so that she was doing a great job. Her face lit up with a big smile and she thanked me, though no thanks were needed. I was just glad to see my smile card blossom into the first of many smiles to come.

Brownies And Flowers
Recently a good friend and co-worker retired from our place of work.
Within two weeks of her retirement her husband was rushed into the hospital with serious health problems. As I write this he is still in the hospital. So, today, I bought a bouquet of flowers, a beautiful candle and a card. Then I baked some brownies for her.
I wanted this to be a random act of kindness so I introduced myself to their neighbor. She was more than delighted to go along with this. I asked if she would bring the gifts over to my friend when she returned from visiting her husband.
I am now plotting how I can do a kindness for that helpful neighbor!
