It was one of those long days after work, standing in line at a King Soopers in the customer service area. It was a long line with many other tired workers of the day. The line was moving slower and slower with people paying bills, purchasing Money Orders and playing the Lottery in hopes of riches.
I am standing in my spot in line when I see a lady in front of me who had purchased flowers. She had them in her shopping cart when she reached into the cart and picked out the beautiful boutique and walked up the line and handed them to another lady standing in the line in front of her!
Seeing that happen and the surprised look on the face of the lady receiving the flowers and her reaction of joy made me feel better. I looked around and saw smiles on the faces of other people in line who saw what had transpired! I asked the ladies could I take a picture of them and share it. First they were reluctant, shy and then they agreed. You know today we hear and see so many negative things going on that just drains the Spirit dry.
Flowers, a smile and two strangers in the same line from different walks of life bought some happy sunshine to everyone in that area and the clerks behind the counter that day. When I went outside leaving the supermarket it looked like everything were brighter and my smile was even brighter!
This special Random Act of Kindness matters in today’s climate of what seems to be more negativity than positive good things confronting the public daily.
Thank you, Rhoda Kaplan for your Random Act of Kindness also Jeanie Ogle for receiving it and also to you both for sharing.
