A random act brightened my day today. Customers have been in and out of the store all day long. I even had a guy come in, well, he'd been sent on a makeup mission. LOL Then, I had a younger lady come in who was "just window shopping". After a little chitchat and a quick discussion about how to, in the most ladylike fashion, get your dainties back to their original position (ladies, you know what I am talking about!) she headed for the door. As I opened it up for her to exit she unexpectedly gave me a hug and wished me a blessed day!
Isn't it amazing how something as trivial as a random hug can make you feel so much better. I don't know this person and she may very well never step foot in my shop again, but for today we were friends. Her simple gesture made my day. Have you ever had something like this happen to you? How did you react? How did it make you feel?
I think that we should all work a lot harder on committing these random acts of kindness. Buy coffee for the person behind you in line at Starbucks. Pump gas for the little old couple next time you're at the gas station. Take the mail and newspaper to your neighbor's door. You never know who may need a smile!
I got an extra hug today that led me to a smile...may you be as blessed!
