Coffee And Kindness
Last year I went to the local coffee shop drive thru to treat my coworkers to an afternoon latte. After ordering five coffee drinks, I pulled up to the window to wait patiently for the drinks as it was a warm afternoon and the place was very busy.

I assured him that it was no trouble. He thanked the two us many times, gave us a huge smile, and went about his day. What a lovely way to thank these men for the beauty that they create and care for everyday!
