For Your Time, Effort And Smiles, Thank You!

--by Jozii, posted Jul 1, 2009

Today I received my very own set of Smile Cards from HelpOthers.org. Yay! I opened my envelope with great excitement and found my promised ten cards along with a larger card with ideas printed on it. Immediately I started planning my next kind act – the cards truly have an inspiring effect!

It was then I realized the value of these cards and of websites such as HelpOthers.org. Not only does it inspire you, but receiving these cards, knowing that there are others out there with the same aim to be kind to others as I myself have, really made me smile! And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?

In other words, the Smile Cards have already done a great deal: they made me smile! And in the future I hope each and every single card I hand out will make someone else smile too.

I’d like to thank HelpOthers for offering these cards and for caring enough to encourage others – me included – to be generally kind and carry out random acts of kindness. I’d like to thank the volunteers who spend time and money on sending out these Smile Cards. And above all, I’d like to thank YOU for taking the time to read this and write on this website, thus encouraging others in the name of true kindness.

For your time, effort, and beautiful smiles, I thank you all!
