Coffee

I did something this morning that made me happy.

NO, not that... get your mind out of the gutter.

I was in line at Dunkin Donuts getting my first fix of caffeine. There was a gentleman in line behind me that had ordered an extra large coffee.

Before I knew what I was doing, I said "I'll get his as well."

He looked behind him then back at me and said "What?"

I picked up his cup, handed it to him and said "Really. I've got it. Merry Christmas. All I ask is that you pay it forward. Do something nice for someone this holiday."

He said thank you and headed out the door sipping his drink. He was smiling.

I'm not telling you this to brag, nor am I looking for kudos. It was a feeling that washed over me as I stood there. Something was yelling in my head to buy his coffee. I struggled against it. One part of me was saying he will think I'm wierd or a stalker of some sort. Another part was saying just DO it! Just open your mouth and say it!

It is a feeling I've never had before.

And now I've never felt so good. I hope he needed it. I hope he spends that measly $2 on someone else. I hope it goes on and on and on... eventually reaching around the world.
