It has been very cold and snowy here, so it felt like a good time to get out and spread some kindness!Me and my friend "Hennie" went out with four cards. We like to write out cards and put a Smile card inside with a little gift, so we had two with chocolate and two with lotto cards.
It was freezing cold but we thought the good feeling would outweigh the coldness!
I felt a bit shy so when we called at one local shop I asked the server to pass one of our cards to a customer. He seemed a bit confused but was happy to do so.
Next we found a lady looking very cold and walking home in the snow. I noticed she smiled at our dog so we gave her one of the cards. Then, as the streets were a bit quiet, we went to another shop and gave one to the shop-keeper. I think he is new to this area and he seemed a bit suspicious at first. When I asked if I could give him a gift he asked, Who from?" and I said it was from me. He thanked me a lot and smiled a huge smile. I asked him if he would pass the last card on to one of his customers and he said he was happy to.
I generally don't much like going out but I found myself just wanting to spread some kindness. We were freezing when we got home but warm inside!
