Stories of Kindness from Around the World

The Second Smile Card Of The Day


--by smileswithhope, posted Oct 23, 2013
A couple days ago I was driving across a bridge on my way to a friend's house. As I neared the toll booth I spontaneously decided to pay the toll for the car behind me. 

I rolled down my window, asked to pay for the person behind me, and handed the toll booth operator a Smile card. That's when I noticed a puzzled look on the toll booth operator's face. 

"What's going on today?" she asked, her brows furrowed. "You're the second car to do this!" 

"That's great," I said. "It's a good day!" I smiled back and kept smiling ear to ear as I drove away.

How uplifting to see that Smile cards and paying-forward the bridge toll are becoming more and more mainstream!
