My Bad Day Turned into a Kindness Festival!
Looking back on yesterday I should have just crawled back into bed. Work went OK, but it was after work that everything went wrong. I went to the grocery store and picked up a pack of meat (beef cubes) and of course, it was one that the blood had to run all over my khaki pants.
I went into bathroom to clean up and there was a store employee in the bathroom. She got me some seltzer water to blot on my pants. Then, I get up to register and the sugar must have gotten caught on something because it spilled all over the register belt. The cashier had another person get me another sugar and she cleaned up the belt.
OK, so I thought it was over UNTIL I went out to my car. I must have left the reading lights on and had a dead battery.
I was literally ready to scream at the Universe for my bad day! THEN....a young man walked up behind me and asked me if I needed help. He saw my hood up and me looking in trunk for cables, which I had (thanks to Rich). He pulled his car as close to me as he could but my cables were too short to reach because of the diagonal parking spaces. He got his cables and they were longer and did the job. Before I knew it I was up and running!
When I got home there was a package on the back porch. I didn't order anything, so had no idea what it was. Inside the package was the most beautiful cookie tin with dogs and cats on it. Inside were peanut butter filled pretzels! Such a treat to receive this after my awful day. Even more special was that it was from an anonymous person! Thank you whoever you are!
Kindness is the best mood inhibitor ever!
