Random Act...

I took my sister to the airport early this morning, with a stop at McD's before arriving at school. As I pulled up the window to pay, the cashier told me the truck in front of me had paid for me. I laughed, thinking she was being funny but no, the man in front of us had paid for breakfast for us!

I cannot tell you how this made me feel! I honked twice and waved and he did a friendly wave back and left. (It was all I could do to not get out of my car and tackle the guy with a giant hug!!!) Little L and I spent the whole trip to school discussing ways to pay it forward.

I hope you get to be the recipient of a random act like this and I also hope that you will just make an effort to perform one act of random kindness. You never know who or how you are affecting someone!
