Tagging In Liverpool

--by slinkycat, posted Sep 22, 2013

I came across this web-site a few days ago and have spent hours just reading all the stories. I got so excited and knew I wanted to do this!

Having requested some Smile cards I found I couldn't wait to get started! I introduced my best friend/housemate and she got just as excited!

So today we decided to just write out some cards until the Smile cards arrive. We put money with some cards and chocolate with some others. Then we went walking in Liverpool and found some lovely people to give them to.

First we went into the shop. I spotted a young woman there and asked the server if she would pass the card along. She gave a big smile and said she would.

Next we found an elderly man. He was carrying a heavy bag in the snow, so he seemed the good person to tag. He just stood there, looking between us and the little parcel. He was a little confused by it all.

Next was an old lady sitting waiting for her medication. My friend tagged her she had a big smile on her face even though she hadn't opened the card or seen the money inside.

We carried on walking in the snow with our happy dog and gave out several more little gifts to neighbours and to people just walking in the street. I have to say it was the best walk I have ever taken. We had so much fun!

Thank you all for you all for the inspiring stories that made us want to join in. It's funny because I would normally be so shy about offering help but the fact that it is anonymous made it easier to do.

Here is to many more smiles and tags!
