False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sensible, and that happiness is always shared.
- Charles de Montesquieu
I volunteered to fulfill Smile Card orders & my first shipment of “to-be” mailed Smiled Cards arrived on Monday. I was very excited & immediately inspected all the contents. My darling husband quietly watched me, not wanting to interrupt my moment, but I could tell he was curious. I told him I would be helping to spread kindness by mailing Smile Cards to members. “That’s great!” he said. Probably thinking, “There she goes again with another one of her causes.”
Fast-forward to Wednesday. I’m sitting on the floor handwriting addresses on each outgoing envelope while he watches his TV show. He turns the TV off and asks, “What can I do to help you get these ready?” I give him instruction & we quietly get OUR first 10 orders ready.
On Thursday afternoon he drove us to the post office, where he patiently waited with me in a slow-moving line. Since this is a labor of love for me, I told him we absolutely had to get the Love: King and Queen of Hearts stamps. No plain ones (Philately is miniscule interest of mine, you see). “Of course,” he said, “nothing else would do.” He knows stamp choices are important to me.
Now, if I could just get my three cats to lick the envelopes.
Here's my teddy bear putting a stamp on a Smile Card envelope.
