My morning started off rough to say the least. My alarm went off but I decided to lay in bed an extra 25 minutes, knowing that would give me no time to get ready for my class. When I did finally manage to get out of bed, I was still in the sad mood I'd been in for days. To top it all off my hair wasn't cooperating, it was still wet and rainy out, and the shoes I wanted to wear were still soaked from yesterdays typhoon (exaggeration). I left the room praying I had enough time to make a quick Starbucks run before my class, because caffeine was of the essence. It was gloomy outside, and I definitely felt gloomy inside. I made it Starbucks and, to my surprise, the line was short. That is definitely a quick way to turn my frown upside-down. Before long I was all smiles, headed towards class with a steaming hot Cappuccino ready to take on the day.
I know it seems like my bad morning has nothing to do with kindness, but in reality, it does! The whole time I was walking around, listening to rainy day music, I didn't even take the time to notice anyone else around me. There could have been someone walking right beside me, or standing behind me in the short Starbucks line who was having an actual bad day (not that bad hair days don't constitute crisis). While I was walking around looking for a small something to signal that my day was going to turn around, someone could have been hoping that I WOULD be that sign for them.
My challenge to myself, and anyone who reads this post, is to do one, just one, random act of kindness, one day during the rest of this week! I'm game.
