As an Instructional Coach, I like to keep my candy coffers full in my office, with a variety of treats for my teachers. So this particular Saturday, I headed over to Walmart to check out the latest shipment of assorted Christmas candy. Sure enough, the shelves were freshly stocked with all the latest Reese's White Creme and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Trees! I picked up a couple of big bag assortments and headed on my way.
Remembering my hubby told me to be sure to get the tires rotated, I swung in to Les Schwab to see if they could help me. Sure enough they got me in right away. It wasn't going to take long, so I just stayed in the vehicle. 6 or 7 guys in the shop worked together like a race track pit crew and I was done in minutes. Then I remembered my candy stash, thinking I'll bet these guys would appreciate some peanut butter and chocolate.
So I handed a handful of individually wrapped trees to one of them and told him to share with his buddies. It was a small thing, but nearing the end of what I'm guessing was a busy day at the tire shop. Standing around like kids with treats, you would have thought I gave them gourmet desserts! "Thanks so much for coming in today!" I heard one of them say.
As I drove out of the garage I thought, it truly is the little things in life that make a difference! I'm going to keep looking for those small opportunities of kindness! I challenge you, the next time you get your tires rotated, take along a bag of candy!
