The other day I had an appointment at my psychiatrist's office. It's a pretty big place so they have a soda dispenser and a snack machine.
I usually like my appointments later in the afternoon or early evening. When I was done I asked the receptionist for some tape, grabbed some paper from my purse, and wrote, "This is a random act of kindness. This snack is on me. Have a nice day! =)"
I took the note, a Smile card and a one dollar bill, and taped them on the glass of the machine.
I wanted to stay to see the person who got to the snack machine first, but I had to get home to the kids.
Even though it was a tiny act of kindness, it still made me feel really really great! I hope that person passed the Smile card on with another act of kindness!

Sometimes there are people who would like a snack except they dont have any change at all. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.
