Working in the field I'm in, it's really easy to get cynical about people in general. However, things that have happened in the past two weeks have helped restore my faith in humanity.
Two weeks ago, while going through bad car-ma, the tire went out on my grandparents car, leaving me waiting on the side of the road in 100+ degree heat, of course the tow truck was on it's merry way, but still it was hot as balls! I'm pleased to report that several people of all ages and genders offered to stop and render aid. One man in his minivan pulled over and asked me if I wanted to wait inside, he made sure to tell me that he had his kids with him. Presumably to make it seem less weird or predatory. Several people offered me water, one even offered to go get me water. Cheers to you humanity.
This week, was pretty crappy for me, what with a random and rather extreme TMJ flare...left me all kinds of cranky and resorting to eating mushy food. Mushy food that included an abundance of oatmeal. Wednesday morning while waiting in an obscenely long line at Starbucks for Oatmeal ( no, not coffee....freaking Oatmeal), I made it to the cashiers window only to have the cashier tell me that the person in front had paid for my order, and that if I wanted to pay it forward, then that's ok.
I have to say that kinda made my morning, thankful for random acts of kindness.
Hope you and yours have a splendid weekend.
