Random Acts of Kindness - I was the recipient!

It's been a while since I posted, but something happened to me yesterday that was absolutely in the spirit of my last blog. I blogged about performing random acts of kindness in the name of Alexander Evertson, an infant who died of a broken heart.

Yesterday I was at the grocery store, and I received horrible, horrible service. I was extremely frustrated, and on top of that, I had my eight month old baby girl with me. I was in such a hurry to just get OUT of there that I left the 20 oz. Diet Coke I bought on the counter. I didn't realize this, of course, until AFTER the baby was strapped back into the car seat and half the groceries were put away.

The woman who was in line behind me came out of the store and saw me in the parking lot and ran over and asked me if I forgot my diet coke. I told her yes, and she told me to watch her groceries and she ran back in the store and got it for me. She said "You shouldn't have to unload the baby."

She brought me the Diet Coke and I thanked her profusely. She did something that took her less than two minutes but it absolutely made my day.

Now I've got to figure out a way to pay it forward. :-)
