A Big Bang for My Bucks!
Forgoing my normal meditation routine in the a.m. I decided I would go to the Dollar Tree this morning before work and pick up some balloons for a coworkers departure. That's it , just that. Well you know as well as I do that you end up finding other items and spending more time in the store than initially planned right ? which is exactly what happened to me. Eventually making my way to the cashier I unloaded my 20 items (LOL) and while the cashier was ringing it all up , I glanced behind me (instead of adding a candy bar from the shelf in front of me as item 21! ) there was a woman unloading her items behind me; notebook paper, tissues, comp books, pencils to name a few things. Then the cashier had finished my order. And SUDDENLY I had this overwhelming adrenaline rush of excitement (Hair raising included) ! THIS IS MY MOMENT to commit a RAK !
So I said to the cashier that I wanted to pay for the woman's items as well . The feeling that came over me was one that I have never experienced. As she and I made eye contact, tears welled up in both of our eyes and we hugged each other; her thanking me and me saying "your welcome now you can do something nice for yourself "! I then handed her my first SMILE card and asked her to pay it forward etc.
The magic of the moment continued while the cashier finished the order as she explained to me that she had just become a foster mother of two children the night before and she was trying to purchase some needed school and home supplies for them . I commended her on her devotion on caring for these children and that I worked for ECS where I come in contact with many foster parents and respected the roles they play in caring for children. She thanked me once again and I turned and said "I thank you as well" .
As I made my way to the car I felt as if I was floating on a cloud, literally. It was such a high experience and one I will never forget .
I am a solid believer in Synchronicity; had I followed my normal routine of my typical morning I would not have encountered this woman and would have missed this positive experience altogether . Wow!
In closing I want to share my favorite phrase that goes so well with this experience :
Love the Moment
And the Energy of that Moment
Will Last Beyond all Boundaries
Namaste My Comrades !
