A day shouldn't be starting at 6am, when you don't go to sleep until 3am. Sometimes I can't help but question my own sanity, which begs the question, how on earth is it that my friends haven't had me committed yet?
That said, it was absolutely worth it & I would do it again in a second. (And likely will. ;)) I saw one of my best friends, for the first time in 10 years! Holy crap. I'm still very fuzzy on how we lost touch for that long, especially with living in the same city. I run into people I don't want to run into all the time, but rarely into people I would LOVE to see. It was wonderful to catch up and it was as if there weren't all those missing years. Awesome! Anyhow, thanks for dragging me out J & A. So much fun! Who would have thought this party girl could go out to a club, have fun, without getting completely ripped.
My wake-up call came far too early, in the form of "Mom, I have to peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Oy vey! We had a good morning and eventually got out of the house and braved the grocery on Superbowl Sunday. Bad planning on my part. Somehow I almost doubled my weekly grocery bill. I cannot figure that out, but we will be having some great meals this week at least.
After dealing with that fiasco, Starbucks was calling my name. I swear I could hear rumblings of "Over here! You know you really need a Double Tall Skinny Mocha." I stopped for a split second & realized, why yes, I definitely do! So begins the turning point in my day...
Once in a while, you hear a random act of kindness (ROAK) story on the news. You know the ones that make you pause, then wonder why they never happen to you. *lol* I know my friend B makes a point of paying tolls for others at times, which is awesome! Just hearing her tell the story of it, has been heart-warming to read. Having no toll roads here, that option is out. As for other things, I'm always terrified of getting myself into a situation that I really can't afford, so I've never done anything...
Well, I ordered my much needed Starbucks drink. I pull up to the window & the girl informs me that the person in front of me has paid for my drink. WOW! I paused for a second and pondered what I should do. The vehicle behind me had several adults in it & being a single mom/university student, I was scared to ask how much their order was, but I did. Since their order was only $2 more than mine would have been, I happily passed it on. It felt incredible to do that & my spirit soared for simply shelling out $6 for someone else. (Note: Had their order had been huge, I still would have at least paid for some of their order.)
So, next time you're somewhere that you can offer up a ROAK, definitely do it! Not only will you have a chance at making someone else's day, you'll also make your own.
I feel fabulous!
I gave someone my email & number the other day. I'm really hoping he calls. So, here's hoping...
