More than likely, I will often blog about buying coffee for someone. There is something simply wonderful about buying a cup of coffee for someone - a stranger.
This morning I saw a man run to open the door for an older woman walking into Starbuck's. It made me smile and I made a mental note to write about it - I find it wonderful when we pay attention to the people around us. It's so important to relate to people.
I pulled up to the ordering intercom, ordered a triple grande skinny, two pump hazlenut latte and then pull forward. At the window I asked what the person behind me had ordered. "A venti skinny hazlenut latte." I smiled. I smiled big - "I'd like to pay for their coffee too, please."
And I did - and as I pulled away I hoped that the pebble of coffee drop into the water to cause more ripples of kindness.
Sometimes - it's just the simple moments of kindness.
