Kindness Inspired By Just a Cup of Coffee


--by Rocking, posted Jun 19, 2011

I went to the Atlantis Coffee Shop to have a cup of coffee.  I looked for a nice cookie to go with it.  When I went up to pay, the man at the till said, "The man ahead of you paid for your coffee."  So I thdecided to pay for the next person's coffee.  Then I went over to the man who had paid for my coffee and said "Thank you. You made my day."  He said, "I just like to do those kinds of things as in Pay It Forward and Random Acts of Kindness. It makes me feel good."

A cup of coffee may not seem like much but I have been telling people about this ever since.  And I have been thinking of things I can do for others ever since.
