Hello All,
Since hearing stories about kindness can
make everyone's day a little better, I thought I would start by sharing my most
recent personal experience with you. Following the Summer Session of
classes at Washburn University in 2013, my girlfriend and I decided to go out
to eat as a celebration. It was a nice day out so we decided to go to On
the Border Mexican Restaurant. After enjoying our meal, the next step was
paying for it. Our waitress came over and informed us that someone else
had already paid for our meal. At this point I was in complete shock that
someone had been so kind to us. The waitress then proceeded to give me a
sealed envelope. The waitress began smiling. Inside the envelope was a note which said "best
wishes, and may God bless you." Also included was a $100 gift card
to return to the restaurant. At this point I was in disbelief. This
was the kindest thing that I had ever witnessed, and we knew that we had to pay
the kindness forward, and to this day I do not know who that kind person is. In order to pay it forward, we decided to take out
some very important people in our lives out to dinner with the card. This
will be a day that I will never ever forget. I hope that someday the
person who committed this act of kindness will read this post and know how thankful
I am for their graciousness. That day was the very thing that inspired me
to begin writing this blog. I hope that you enjoyed the story, and that
it inspires you to commit similar acts. Until next time, keep the kind
acts coming!
