Well, I have two job interviews this week. Went to one yesterday, and they offered me the job. We still are talking pay rate, but I am stalling as I want to interview for the other job. So that has been good for me.
But an awesome thing happened yesterday. I was in Big Lots, just looking for a cheap area rug, and this lady was struggling with finding a mat that she liked. She saw me (I was dressed nicely as I had just left my job interview) and she honestly thought I worked at the store. She asked for my help with trying to find the price on the mat, so I helped her dig in the pile until we found one. We chatted, small talk, and eventually found one. She thanked me, and then saw that I didn't work for the store. She apologized, and I told her it was no trouble at all. She looked at me as if this shocked her, and thanked me again. I could tell that it meant alot to her that a stranger would help her out with something so simple as finding a price tag on a mat, even though I did not have to. I felt good because it made her smile. I honestly feel that if people would stop and be more not into themselves, and just do a random act of kindness sometimes, that the world would be a better place. |

This sounds so Pollyanna but everyday is positive, fun, and gives me the giggles.
I always notice the little things, and I appreciate my life. Shoot, even the “bad” stuff is good because it offers growth and improvement, right? Thanks for posting a “share your fun thread”!! |

Sunday I had lunch with my parents, brother and children (two sons and one daughter-in-law). Very seldom with various work schedules does this happen. Love and laughter fills our time together. I too am blessed!
