About 20 minutes ago, I was in the drive-thru line for Starbucks, picking up coffee for a very tired me, and another person at the house. The people in the car in front of me turned around and waved. I thought "Do I know them?", but then they drove away. Upon arriving at the window, I was informed that they had paid for my coffee, and the person in front of them had paid for theirs. I happily obliged to pay for the man behind me (and it was only a fourth of what I was going to pay for mine!).
It was a little thing, but it made my day. Things like this don't happen to me often, and I am reveling in it. Things like this give me hope for the world. That there are people out there who are kind, generous, and loving; and willing to step out of the mold from time to time and let the rest of us know they're there. I hope to be one of those people. Thank you, Starbucks people, for reminding me of what truly matters today.
