July 22 - Looking Up

Day 202 of a year of Kindness 

(July 22)My third kindness ambassador, Linda Sacramona, recieved a kindness in the wine aisle.I stopped at the store this afternoon to purchase some cat food. I was rushing because I was meeting my family at an outdoor concert and did not want to be late. My sister-in-law, Sue, texted me and asked if I could purchase her a bottle of Beringer White Zinfandel.

I replied, “Of course.”I headed to the wine aisle and searched for the wine but had no luck finding it. There was no one around to help me. Not one to give up, I went to the service desk. They directed me back to the same wine aisle. I called Sue.“I can’t find the Beringer White Zinfandel!”

Just at that moment I turned around to find a tall woman placing a bottle of Beringer White Zinfandel into my cart! She smiled and said, “I was not really eavesdropping but…”I said, “But I could not find it anywhere!”She replied, “You have to look up.”We both laughed. 

I called my family to say I was on my way and when I looked up again she was gone. I don’t know where she came from and I never saw her again. Her kindness was just what I needed. It came from above.

Science of Kindness: Research reveals that kindness can come from anyone at anytime and always feels like something just a little extra special happened. #bekind #kindnessiscontagious #kindnessisfree #kindness #godwinks
