Smile Cards in Action at School

--by success, posted Jan 14, 2011

I've mainly been using my smile cards in paying for the person behind me at the Burger King and McDonald's drive-thrus that I go to. However, sometimes I find myself yearning to be more creative with them. I have over 250 of them to distribute since I "made" my own and ordered them through a website that prints and ships out custom cards.

I have decided to bring kindness to the staff and students at the school where I work. I will keep my eyes and ears open to see whose day could use a smile. I'm sure I'll get to everyone sooner or later or better yet, everyone who receives smile cards will eventually be able to help out and spread the smiles with me.

Today, I enlisted another co-worker to anonymously deliver a smile to my first recipient. She was more than happy to be included and said she just loved things like this. I told her that she could put it in the recipient's mailbox or actually hand it to her, but not to reveal me as the source.

The recipient will be getting a thank you card that says, "Thank you for the very many hats that you wear," and will be getting an individual package of Milano cookies, which I know she loves, along with a smile card to pay the anonymous act of kindness forward.

I get like an overjoyed child just thinking how my school will be transformed when so many people (staff and students) will be touched by some extra kindness. I dream of having a journalist come and write a newspaper article about it, but never knowing who started it.
