I Used My Smile Cards! :0)

--by ladymez69, posted Apr 9, 2007

I've used Smile Cards three times:

1 & 2 - I live in a secure building which provides 30 apartments. Although I am able to reside here because I have a visual disability, the majority of residents are elderly. One day I randomly picked 2 dates on the calendar and, using the two numbers of the dates selected, I left a nicely wrapped bar of top quality chocolate at their door. Of course, the smile cards were attached, encouraging the receipients to practice their own annonymous act of kindness with someone else.

3 - I donated a warm coat to our local homeless shelter and placed a $20. bill in the pocket. A smile card was attached, along with a typed unsigned note listing acts of kindness that could be performed free of charge.

I LOVE the Smile Cards and think they are a wonderful way to express love for our fellow man, whomever they may be. They are especially helpful in teaching children to do the same.
