These are the flowers
I see when I'm
waiting in line to get
my coffee.
I hope today will be your
lucky day.

Today's Your Lucky Day
I was driving through Starbucks recently and ordered my usual, and while I was waiting in line I thought to myself, "oh no, I left my card at home. Well, I'll just ask them if I can come back later and pay." After all, I'm a regular, and they know me. When I got up to the window I said to the woman, "I left my card at home," and she said to me, "today's your lucky day, cause the guy in front of you paid for yours, and he said to have a nice day." I smiled and was relieved. I thought about how total strangers can be so nice at times, and that I've had my coffee paid for a lot lately. So, I wanted to return the favor, and today I paid for the person in back of me. Sometimes it's the pleasant strangers in your life who bring the most joy.

This is a delightful thing, for people to do. :-)
And how nice, to see wild flowers, while waiting in line at Starbucks.
Paying it forward! What a wonderful surprise! I remember I was on the Oakland Bay Bridge and someone paid my fee across the bridge, it made me smile that morning going to work! Thanks for the inspiration.
I'll pay it forward for someone today too ♥
Hugs,

So nice to see flowers too - no matter where you are.
Enjoy your day
All the best Jan
Hi Sheri, So nice when people are kind. I always kept a little coin purse in my console for coffee, at our coffee shop. I miss that place...the man that owned it passed away. I think that flower is lavender..so pretty. Blessings to you for a great Sunday. xoxo,love, Susie
That was nice very sweet and great that you returned the favor. Hugs with love Janice

He was so happy and never forget this ,there are still nice people that helps and bring you a lucky day like by you ...

Acts of kindness are such wonderful surprises, Sheri. I love this sweet post about reminders to give to our fellow man. We never know who we can be an angel for. Have a lovely evening. ♥
That's so nice and it's a shame that people don't do more kindness. Kudos to you my sweet friend. Enjoy your week. xo
Doesn't that restore your faith in mankind (or womankind)? LOL Such a small thing that can make a person's day.

Now THAT is what I call serendipity! What are the odds the exact day you didn't have money someone would pay for you?!
Such a lovely story Sheri!
A spontaneous squeeze of kindness, what better could happens? Lavender is on top of my favorites! I have an amount of them in the garden.
Have a nice day Sheri!

I love it every time I read a story like this! Isn't it wonderful that this practice has spread. And maybe the person you paid for behind you really needed it that day to lift their spirit.
what an unexpected grace! :)
It was your lucky day! How sweet of him to pay for your coffee and to pick that day of all days. :)
I LOVE doing RAOK's! The anonymous kind are my favorite. So glad someone was kind to you!
