Yesterday around 9:30 am, as I was going towards my car, I noticed something box like on my windshield. At first I thought I may have gotten a ticket from the cops, but as I approached closer, there was a box of delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies and a smile card! Thank you anonymous angel!
Later in the day, I had to make a run to my local library to pay off some overdue fines and pick up a book that I had on hold. I decided to keep few cookies for my parents to enjoy, and took the rest for the volunteers and staff at the library.
I approached the clerk at the counter to hand them the box of cookies.
"A small gift and token of appreciation for the staff and volunteers.
Would you mind putting them in the break room?" I asked.
She replied, "Oh wow! Thank you! Why don't you at least put your name on it, so we know who to thank." :)
"Can you tell them it is from a guest who has benefited significantly from the library being open?" She answered, "Of course!"
We ended up going our separate ways. :) A small act that paid intangible dividends. :) And yes, I did have to pay my overdue fine, but it was with a smile. :)
