Lately it has seemed like every time we got a little ahead something would come along and we would have to start all over.
Today I had to pick my son up early from school and decided to go to a local store. While I was looking around I noticed there was an envelope on the shelf. At first I wasn't sure what to make of it. Even though it was addressed "To Whoever Finds This" I thought I might get in trouble if I took it. I looked at it for a while then decided to risk it.
I waited until I got back to my car before opening it. I honestly didn't know what to expect. I was surprised to find a note and a Smile card, along with two lottery tickets!
We didn't win the lottery but the pleasure I got from such a small act of kindness will stay with me. I had never heard of this before and I hope more people find out about it, because a bad day can be made into a smile day with something so simple.
