I was recently the recipient of a 'random act of kindness'. I was in line at the drive through waiting to get an iced coffee, and when I got to the pick up window, I was told that my coffee was free ! Apparently, the person in the car ahead of me, had told the window to apply their change to my bill. It made my day ! I decided right there that I would try to pass it on. Since then, I've been able to do a couple of nice things. I was in the grocery store, and a young man was counting his cash and coins, while checking the prices of sugar. I got the impression that he was picking the sugar up for someone who was doing some baking. He was in a hoody, and reminded me of my own son. I asked him if he needed some money, and he said he was seventy cents short. I handed him a dollar. As he tried to give me some change, I told him to keep it , just in case it was a few cents more at the register. He looked me in the eye, smiled, and said thanks. I had helped someone out, and it felt pretty good !
Last week I was picking up dinner to take home. I had a coupon for buy a meal , and get one free. Our dinners came with soft drinks that we would not use. I turned to the customer behind me, and asked if she would like them. She said yes, and thanked me over and over ! I know it was really no big deal, but sometimes it doesn't take much ! I drove home smiling.
The last time I was in the grocery store, the express lane was closed. I was carrying a basket and I only had two things . The lady who got to the line in front of me, turned and told me to go next. I thanked her, and said I would pass it on. We were both smiling , and the cashier and bagger were too! Tag...I'm it !! Now I have to find a way to return the favor...If anything like this happens to you ...remember to pass it on....
This was my experience, so take what you like, and leave the rest....have a good week everyone.....
