This morning around 9:30, I pulled up at the Timmies drive-through downtown and joined that long line of cars. When I finally got to the window, I found that the lady in front of me paid for my order! She said that I seemed stressed and hoped that I have a good day... I was genuinely taken aback by her kindness. I actually drove off teary eyed... I know that what she did may seem small- but you have no idea. Last month I had to bury my daughter and this is my first week back to work. Every morning has been filled with anxiety as I struggle to channel my "normal". This just gave me pause. It brought me back to the realization that you're really not alone- regardless of what you're going through. There are people out there who don't know you or your story but who care nonetheless. So THANK YOU. To the lady in the black, large pickup that made my entire day.
I will be paying it forward every chance I get Xo.
