Today I went to Starbucks like I do every morning before work. I go through the drive through and I always order a grande mocha. Today when I got to the window, the barista told me that the lady in the car before me had paid for my drink today.
"What?" I said
"Why?"
"She just wanted to do something nice" Said the barista.
The lady was already half way down the street. Gone.
My jaw just dropped and I couldn't stop saying how nice that was. My eyes filled up with tears and then I couldn't stop smiling! I've had family and friends do special and kind thing for me before, even out of the blue, but I have never had a stranger bestow upon me a random act of kindness. It was truly amazing and I tell you, it made my whole day. I smiled more today. I was kinder to others today. I laughed more today.
Was it just a 4 dollar coffee, yeah, but it was so much more.
