My day started out like any other day...alarm goes off, get out of bed, shower, feed the dog, blah, blah, blah. My day usually starts to look up when I head to get some delicious coffee with my co-worker Carly...today was no different. We made the trek (it's really not that far) over to the nearest Starbucks so that we could fulfill our caffeine addiction! After I ordered my usual (tall Pike, ONE petite vanilla bean scone and a bag of their oh-so-delicious popcorn) I went to reach for my handy dandy credit card, when I heard, "there's no charge", confused, I asked "why?". Well, some really nice person left their remaining Starbucks gift card to use on the next however many customers, because they were leaving town or something & wouldn't be able to use the giftcard up. So, to my surprise, my food & beverage were FREE! It was such a wonderful way to start my day. Now I'd like to pay it forward. I haven't exactly figured out how I want to do so, but I have heard a couple of good suggestions. One being, going through a drive-thru and paying for the person's food/beverage behind me; what a great idea! Other suggestions/ideas welcome!
It's so re-assuring to know that there are so many good people out there! It seems that more often than not, we hear about the bad things or people and we don't hear nearly enough about all the good things/people. It certainly is making me think more about doing nice things for others - even something as simple as holding the door open for someone. At any rate, I'm really looking forward to doing something extra nice for a someone that won't be expecting it!
Happy Thursday :)
