Standing in Line

It never creases to amaze me when I am standing in line at the grocery store with one or two items that the person in front of me will often insist that I go ahead of them. I suppose this happens to everyone, but it seems to occur far more often in communities where the pace is slow.

It happened again today, and this time I made a point to acknowledge that it was a very kind thing to do, stating "I'm a big fan of kindness!" This led to a three-way discussion engaging the cashier about the idea of paying kindness forward.

I love it when these small events happen in my day. Don't you?
