As most of you know, I am a cashier at a grocery store. Well, today, one of the customers, whom I have seen before was in this morning. She kept looking at me as I was bagging groceries for another cashier.
As she was walking out, she handed me an envelope. I got a card with a note thanking me for my thoughfulness. It had $40 in it! She was gone by the time I finished opening the card, but, isnt that just so nice?
I have no idea what I did! That is the awful part. I know when I see her again, I will thank her a million times.
Now, here is the funny thing about this whole story.
On Wed, I took my kids downtown to see the firemans parade. We parked up town, and took the bus. When we got back uptown, I handed my vouchers to three young adults waiting for the bus. (Here, you pay once and get a ticket and can ride all day with that ticket.)
A young woman sitting watching, said to me as I left that something wonderful will happen to me for my generosity. And, today it did!
Now, lets all go out and do something nice for no reason to anybody and see what comes back to us:) It really does make you feel good!

Rain On Me
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Hi all,
I was going to journal this and decided I wanted all to share what nature taught me today.. I normally have my walk , but something this morning led me to the lake,.. I am watching it dry up with the current drought in Florida and my heart is heavy... But the Blue Heron was there, so majestic, feeding in the water with a perfect reflection of him/her in the sun on the water.. It took my breath away in its perfection....Then as if by magic soft little sprinkles began to fall on the lake and as I watched the ripples , my heart filled with tears and I cried for the promise that this gave me..
The Blue Heron with its perfect reflection is the hope for all of us that one day we will find another , that mirror reflection of love and faith..
Ahhhh but the rain.........The sprinkles falling gently with hundreds of ripples coming out from each drop.. That is each of us. with one kind word or one shared experience, that will create a ripple effect felt by many.. the power we all have to do good and spread good is in each of us.. We make a choice every day to be positive or negative.. I make a conscious choice every day in every way to be positive and it comes back to me ten fold.......
My challenge today is for each of us to be a ripple.. Change someones life today with a positive attitude, a smile , and power in your walk.. Let them know that you are walking in the light and that the sun keeps your heart warm and open... .. Love to all
Nice to know when other people see us for who we really are not what our ex's said we were...
