Yesterday I was coming home from my weekly get together with members of our local garden club, who I affectionately refer to as 'The Garden Girls" even though three of us are men. I was hungry thought I would swing by a local drive through and get a bite to eat before I headed home. The line was long and like everybody else in the world was checking my phone waiting for the line to move. I placed my order and proceeded to the pay window. The worker was leaning out the window smiling holding a receipt. Odd?
When I got to the window she told me the lady in front of me had paid my bill! I was stunned! It was a ten dollar purchase. I didn't recognize the car and didn't get a clear view of the driver. I waved in a feeble attempt to thank her but she drove off into the traffic.
A random act of kindness! All the shit going on in this world, that lady made me feel special for a while.Thank You. The down side? This ole' curmudgeon now has to 'pay it forward'. I have to look for the opportunity to make someone else smile and feel good. I am now, plotting how this is going to happen!
That is so awesome Terry, I needed to hear that this morning. wow.
ReplyDeleteTerry, I have come over via Janet's blog and it's very nice to meet you! I look forward to hearing more of your adventurous lifestyle. Simplicity is beautiful to me.
ReplyDeleteI live in Iowa and this year I have my first vegetable box garden. The deer seem as interested in it as I am and I have only harvested one zucchini but it was the most perfect and delicious one I ever ate! Have a lovely day!
Nice to meet you too! I grew up in Moline Illinois across the river from Davenport. We always had a spectacular and abundant vegetable gardens.
DeleteHi Terry,
ReplyDeleteI also found you from Janet's blog. I'm a retired master gardener as well. I volunteered for 21 years in Sonoma County. I now live in Paso Robles and am trying to figure out what to grow here, it's quite the challenge. I tend toward natives and habitat plants. Love your movie list, sounds just like mine. I look forward to reading your blog. Cheers.
Thanks, Love the Paso Robles area. visited there a couple of times. Have you Heard of Annies Annuals? Her nursery offers many unusual natives and drought tolerant plants.
DeleteThere are some nice people in this world, aren't there?!
