This is our first story!
I was flying back from Ohio Tuesday. While we were waiting to board the first plane, I noticed a woman in a wheelchair waiting her turn, just sort of staring ahead. I also noticed she had a pretty print dress on. Instead of just passing by, I commented on how pretty the flowers were on her dress. You should have seen her face light up! How much energy did that take on my part?! I made myself a promise to do it more often. Now that I have looked at your website, I see that's what you've resolved, too, with your unique slant. Cool!

Anouncements of May 6th
Sorry we haven't been anouncing for a while. We've been busy. We have an idea that might help us to get the site going around. We could go around town, leaving little gifts on porches - with the website www.anonymousfavors.com written on a piece of paper taped to them.

Uh oh...
And still they didn't send out! Hmmmm... I think some more technical help is needed... Ah. Here we have the problem:
It's in a format the computer doesn't understand!

Pay It Forward Day, and More Announcements
Today, at twelve o'clock PM, Pay It Forward Day started. The whole idea of Pay-It-Forward is to do an (anonymous!) favor for someone without expecting anything return, such as cleaning up your teacher's classroom without her asking in her lunch hour. Even if it's not Pay-It-Forward day, you can still help out someone anonymously, and the world will be six-billion more times happier.
We have another announcement to make! We now have our motto(es). They are as follows: "Recycle Our Happiness" and "Who's to Thank?". We also have a couple of logos, and they will be posted shortly.
Signing out,
Emily and Skylar

Welcome to Anonymous Favors!
This site is for people who have ever found a random act of kindness, maybe a plate of cookies by their door, or a bag of clothes by the late-night St. Vincent DePaul drop-off. People can send us stories of their experiences (Either giving or receiving) by posting on the comments, though remember - NEVER leave your name. Read an example story that actually happened to someone we know right here.
I had a bag of my 6-year-old daughter's clothes that I needed to get rid of. I put them on one of my friend's porches, but I was too lazy to put a note that said who it was from on it. Later on, as I was Facebook-ing that evening, I saw my friend's post: "Who was the clothes fairy who dropped off the clothes? It was like Christmas for Ruby!"

Giving is always better that receiving, as The Quiltmaker's Gift says:
(Speaking about the king)"Frowning, he finally came out with a single marble. But the boy who received it smiled so brightly in return, the king went back for more things."
