Even with all of the crazy stuff going on with people these days, I still believe that there are really good people left in the world. I try to be one myself when I can and it makes me happy knowing that I have helped someone.. When I say "good", I don't mean that they do EVERYTHING for EVERYONE all the time with no hesitation. I mean a person willing to do something, even something SMALL, without worrying or hesitating. I, like any other person, have run into several a-holes and rude people...My interactions with THESE kind of people have been like this...
-They grab a cart when I'm about to put my hands on it..
-They pull into a parking space I've been waiting to park in..
-They stand in line for a minute then quickly jump into the newly opened overflow lane even though I've been waiting for 10 minutes..
-They stare at me or give me dirty looks while I walk around alone or with my kids...
-They are in front of me in a checkout line and complain about EVERYTHING so they can try to get a deal they don't deserve making waiting even longer...
-They say stupid and ignorant things knowing I can hear them...
And so on... THAT list could go ON AND ON.... and on...
But NOW I want to throw a big THANK YOU! to all of those strangers who have honestly helped me when they didn't have to.. but did anyway..
Thank you to....
-The very tall man in Wal-Mart who helped me get juice from the back of the very top shelf! (I'm vertically challenged.. I would've had to climb...)
-The sporty looking woman who held the door open for me and the stroller at the post office! (Because we all know how fun THAT can be alone...)
-The guy who threw in a free breadstick bag because my pizza took longer than expected! (Who doesn't like that???)
-The man in the booth across from me who grabbed my daughters sippy cup before it could roll away at Texas Roadhouse.
-The lady who took my cart after I unloaded my groceries in the car so I wouldn't have to walk it back into the store with the baby.
That was just five examples of five sweet people who did little things that made me smile. And that was just in the last 8 days! :) It should be a goal that someone should do something nice for someone else every day or at least the days where they are able to.. It's a crazy thought but sometimes even the smallest favor or help make the biggest difference in someone's day.. I'm grateful to those random people out there who have helped me when there was nothing in it for them for doing so other than receiving my thanks. I wish there were more of you out there for me to run into and I hope that someone has thought that about me even once. I read this somewhere and totally agree...
"If you wait until you can do everything for everybody, instead of something for somebody, you'll end up doing nothing for nobody.."
Think about THAT! ;) Have a great night Super People!!! -Super Mom
