Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Role Reversal

DAY 3

There is something in the air. Today I have been experiencing a role reversal. As I was doing in my local Whole Foods, I noticed through the windows how  this man in a suit outside the store. The man appeared to be chasing a plastic bag that was being blown by the wind. He finally caught up to it, and then he began picking some other debris around him.

In my mind, I thought, "He gets it!"

As I went to pay at the registrar, I didn't have the exact change and the cashier noticed it. She said, "if you have one quarter, I have another one for you."  My grin could not fit in my face.

And in my mind I thought, "WAIT! I am the one who is supposed to give you the quarter, not the way around! What's going on here?"

This may not qualify as my kindness act, but there are still more hours in the day. I figured I'd let you guys know that this 'Kindness' thing, it comes back around.
