Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Surprise In The Gym Locker

One day a colleague and I walked to the market to get flowers for my mom. They were to be a "just because" gift. 
 
While we were waiting in line we saw these cute glass flower holders with beautiful pink flowers inside. We looked at each other and knew we just had to buy them. On the spur of the moment I decided to buy two; one for mom and one for...? 
 
Those flowers and one of my Smile cards were going to make someone's day! 
 
I walked over to the gym and went into the women's change room. I opened a locker, stuck the flower and vase inside with a Smile card, then closed it. As I walked back to work I couldn't help but smile at the thought of someone opening that locker (perhaps in a fluster to start their work-out) and seeing a beautiful bunch of flowers left there especially for them! 
 
I don't know about the person on the receiving end, but I was glowing for the entire day!
