I was getting out of my house to go to work this morning when I found the sweetest surprise hanging at my door! I was tagged with delicious food from a very special offering. My day was made :).
It was interesting to witness my change in attitude from the morning. I have been pretty busy the last few weeks with work, classes and exams. My thoughts shifted from planning the umpteen things for the day to devising plans to pay my fortune forward :).




I changed my lesson plans at school today to include a discussion on smile cards and screened two inspiring videos from Karmatube. The children were thrilled at the idea of smile cards. I was amused at their responses when I asked them about how they would use the cards to experiment with kindness. One student thought that he could use the card to make a call to ask people to come and help his mom. Another child thought that he could withdraw cash using the card to buy snacks for his friends. One student teared up watching this karma tube video. 

They all agreed that kindness makes this world a better place and were excited about using the cards. Some of them have taken several cards from me :). I am so looking forward to Monday to see what stories emerge.

To end my day at work, I decided to pass on the smiles I abundantly received from my card this morning by writing a note to a coworker :).
