Wanted to share something pretty cool with you guys. So...having one of those long days where you just can't wait to get home and I realized I had to do a bit of food shopping. Not happy about it, I go anyway and there's this little old guy standing at the deli when I order. We shoot the small talk, about dinner and chicken etc. nothing elaborate, and then about ten minutes later I see him in another aisle and he walks straight up to me and grabs my hand, kisses it and says, "Young lady, I just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful." and walks away.

This puts me in a good, giggly mood, thinking how adorable little old men are...and I get in line and this older lady sees me grab the new ABC soap and we have this totally long convo about GH and the cashier gets involved and she says after the old woman leaves that we were the most fun she had all day while working and it brought back memories of watching GH with her son who is now my age (30).

Then I realize on the way home I need gas and I grumble and pull into the station. The guy asks what I need and I say, "Can I get $30 regular, please?" and he stops dead in his tracks, looks at me weird, takes my card and when he got it I said thank you and he stopped again. He walks away, then comes back like ten seconds later and leans down and says, "I just want to thank you for saying please and thank you. They were the first I've heard all day..."

And I almost burst into tears. It was such a Pay It Forward sequence of events and I just thought I'd share b/c how often do people share when something cool happens to them instead of when something horrible happens and they want to complain?

So, yeah.

Interesting day, to say the least!

Dana, I just wanted to say that I thought this was really cool. I had more of a Jacque kind of day but this really made me smile. So thanks for sharing!
