Isn't it nice to think of a world full of people who are generous and giving.....I think so! I want more than anything to be able to give all the time. I like to take care of people....and I also like a little taking care of now and again...
Lately I have been feeling incredibly generous and want to give as much as I can..Mind you I am a full time student and farmer...not a whole lot of financial abundance at the moment. However, you need not worry because doing what most would consider small gestures is what has made the biggest impact on me this last week or so....
Last week I stopped at Dunkin Donuts and paid for a women going through the drive through. I was waiting for my drink and happened to turn around and there was this woman standing there staring at me. She asked if I was the one who had paid for her order, and I replied that I had. She asked if I had simply done this from the kindness of my heart? I again said yes...all the while getting very emotional....She hugged me, thanked me again and said she would do the same for someone that day as she had been inspired by my act of kindness.....Now it wasn't a big deal, like 2 dollars added onto my bill, but I got a hug from a complete stranger and I never stopped smiling the rest of the day....
I was moved the next day to pay for the next two people in line at the toll booth...I got a big beep and wave from the pickup behind me on the way through the exit....
These gestures were very small monetarily, but big on emotion and impact on me.....I am trying to do some small things everyday for people I encounter.....and now animals as well. For the first time in my dog owning career, we have adopted a dog and she will be coming to the farm this weekend to live her forever life on our amazing yet to be renamed farm.....
Take the time today folks to make a small gesture...it may turn out to be huge for you and the person who receives it....
Thanks so much for taking the time to hang with me for a moments...Its greatly appreciated.
the friendly female farmer.....
