The Little Things Add Up

--by janezanaddict, posted Jun 16, 2007

I have been receiving smile cards for quite some time now and take great pleasure in leaving them randomly for people around my town. This town is such a great contrast from where I grew up. The people are so friendly and always go the extra mile to be personal with me.

So every now and then I will tell certain public workers (the lady at the bank, post office, etc...) thank you for being so kind to me, then give them a smile card :) It always makes me so happy to see them blush! Communication is sacred to humanity and so few of us REALLY communicate anymore.

I love being able to use something like the cards to connect with strangers. I also like to leave them in random places for people to find. Some examples: When I do taste test for the university I always leave one in the booth for the next person to find. I like to leave them on the counter at the post office, in random spots at the grocery store and other places. I have also been known to stick one under the windsheild wipers of a car I have noticed has bumper stickers I agree with :)

I love random acts of kindness!

The Kindness Acts simply let others feel appreciated or loved. If we can say thank you, or give a helping hand to one in need, that's what it's all about. PEACE and Smile. ~Aurelia
