So today the cold blew in and after 80 degrees yesterday I wasn't expecting it. So since I had a Starbucks gift card and needed something to warm me up I stopped by the Bucks. Of course the line is forever long because its the first super cold spell but I had that nonfact but with whip (like that doesn't defeat the purpose) hot chocalate in my head (yes those of you who know me well I won't even drink Starbucks Coffee!!!).
Anyway, I'm sitting in line and notice that there are two of those new square JEEP SUVs in front of me one black and one silver. I thought hmm interesting that they are together they must be from a car dealership or something. Yes I was pretty bored waiting. Anyway, I get up and order and pull up to the window. Usually they take your payment and then hand you your drink. Well this time the guy hands me my drink and says, "your drink has already been paid for." I said "huh?" He says "you owe nothing" I said, "ha is this a joke?" He says, "no the car in front of you paid for yours"
I was speechless!! I didn't even know what to say. I'm sure the look on my face showed the shock I was in.
But as I drove away there I felt so good. And blessed. It made me smile that in this time of economic turmoil and when so many people focus on the bad things that are happening there are people out there that just invoke random acts of kindness on people. It reminded me how it only takes one person doing one small thing to change a person's day or possibly even life.
So today this ladies random act made me just a little more light hearted, a little more positive, a brighter smile on my face knowing that there are many many good people in this world that do many many good things for others.
