Kindness of Strangers
Hello to all!! Something wonderful happened to me today and I thought you might enjoy reading about it. I was out running some errands and I was kind of in a hurry. I went through the checkout line, paid for my purchases and gathered all my bags. I proceeded out the door and then realized that the cashier had forgotten my soda. I went back in and she realized that she had forgotten to ring it up. I told her that it was alright and I would just get back in line and pay for it. Looking up I noticed that the line had grown and she was the only register that was open. Just as I started walking towards the back of the line I heard a voice say "Just give it to me." I look up and it was a lady who had been behind me in line. She said that she would pay for it. I told her thanks and I reached into my purse for my wallet so I could pay her and she said "No, consider it a gift from me to you." She said there was no need for me to go all the way back in line for one thing. I tried to pay her again but she wouldn't take it. I thanked her again and told her that I had done the same thing for someone else not that long ago. She then said "See it all comes back around". I was really touched. I'm glad to see that even in these trying times there are still nice people out there. I've always believed in the motto "What goes around - Comes around." It's true - Life is too short to be wearing a frown all the time. Besides, did you know that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. It's a fact!! So, put on a happy face and be kind to others because it'll come back to you when you least expect it. As for the lady who did that act of kindness, I don't know your name but keep it up and Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! :)
