My sister, whom I've named Miss Numb in a previous post, was the recipient of an act of kindness from a stranger. It may not sound like such a big deal but in today's world , with all the anger and hate that we are subjected to with each page in the newspaper, stories like this restore my faith in humanity.
Miss Numb travels a toll road to work. Friday morning when she got to the booth, the lady told her she was all set. My sister was confused. The toll worker told her the lady in the car ahead of her had paid the toll for my sister. All she requested was this.
" Tell her to show a random act of kindness to someone and have a great day."
I myself have been in a coffee shop and purchased a cup of coffee for the person behind me. Sometimes I'll hand passes to an event to a family behind me in line when I have extras.
It makes me feel good to do this.
I wonder, if everyone started doing this how much nicer this world would be.
So, I ask you to try it. It does not have to cost you a lot of money. Imagine how nice someone feels when they receive a free cup of coffee, a free pass on the toll road. Who knows, you may be the lucky recipient one day.
Today, I wish you all a peaceful day full of kind thoughts and warm smiles.

Love this post...paying it forward.
Love the idea and do it myself.
It does make me feel good to know I have done something nice for someone and then smile as I see the look of surprise or confusion on the face of the recipient!
Blessings~
Thank you, Andrea.
I also wish to offer you my sympathies with the passing of your friend. To realize now just how you impacted his life is hard.
For you, I hope it makes you feel good because your friendship obviously meant a lot to him.

The world would be much nicer if people tried to be happy instead of so miserable. Everyone needs stop sweating the small stuff and realize how precious life is.
You never know how much a random act of kindness can make mean the world to someone.

This sister so deserves much kindness in her life. The woman who provided the act of kindness has no idea just how much this lady appreciated it.
