Amazing…

That easily describes the past few days and my life at the moment. Amazing. I’ve had started and deleted half a dozen posts now because for once I’m at a complete loss of words to describe what’s going on. And I don’t mind at all. I know I last left with you with a slightly freaked out message convinced my son was quickly descending into deliquency. Thankfully since then I have found reasons to not only believe him but instruct him to avoid the “victim” and his family. The other two boys involved are under the same instructions from their parents. And my son is very relieved to have “his name cleared” as he announced to Sadie and her family last night but not nearly as relieved as I am to know that his character is intact.

But. That’s not the point of this post. I have a story to tell you.

I just returned from a much needed trip to the Starbucks drive thru. After quite a wait, we arrived to the window to find a more chipper than usual barista. She informed me that our total was less than half normal because the car in front of us had partially paid for our order. Because the car in front of them had paid for theirs. Because….well you get the picture. We were the 16th car in line to be recipient of this chain. I quickly informed her to go on and continue the trend, happily paying for the order behind us. I don’t know what their reaction was. I don’t care. I’m just basking in the fact that someone this morning felt moved to touch someone else’s life in a random, positive manner and that 16 other people were moved to do the same. The world needs more of those friendly touches. THAT my friends is amazing. And I find myself challenged now to look for those opportunities rather than staying quite so wrapped up in my own little bubble.

Weekly Winners coming later….hopefully before midnight.
