Had lunch with a friend this weekend. While walking to the subway afterward, I reached into my jacket pocket for something and a stack of smile cards I had there spilled out onto the sidewalk. My friend looked curiously at the "smiles" scattered on the ground as we picked them up, so I explained what they were. I gave him one in case he ever wanted to use it and forgot about it. Today, I got the following email:

"Hi! Just wanted to tell you that I ended up trying out the smile card the other day—felt inspiringly refreshing to do so! What I didn’t expect was how it made my day—slowed it down and made me think of everyone around me a little differently, more connected, which seems rare in this manic town. That feeling has carried over even a couple days later. I guess it was an agnostic sign for me that the card fell out of your pocket on the street. :) Anyhow, thanks for sharing it with me! Perhaps I should get more of them and continue on."  

Pretty awesome! :)
