Idea of the Week
119.jpg“I have bought a few little gifts from ebay: tiny fridge magnets, friendship bracelets and dried lavender to make potpourri – and have stored them away in a big ‘gift’ bag. I’ve also bought some envelopes, glue and cards and I’ve made some smiley faces. When I read about someone who is lonely or facing illness or is need of a little cheer for any other reason: I make a card, write an encouraging note, stick on the smiley and send them some little gifts from the ‘gift’ bag. Some people are so happy when they receive them. It really does make a difference. I will have to find one hour a week extra work so I can make up the money. But it will be worth it, it makes me feel so happy. to spread a little cheer.” — twinkle

Comment of the Week
“Groups like this motivate me to be kind! I am here because of an act of kindness done unto me! Several months ago, I found a SMILE card in a gas station bathroom. I had had a particularly rough day, and I found a card that said, “Only Kindness Matters.” Ive never been the same again. One small act changes lives in a major way.” — 1smile2day
