I’ll be up front, here. I believe in the statement “What goes around, comes around.” Meaning you get back what you put out there. I have PROOF now.
A stranger showed me a kindness today that she didn’t need to. Not even a little.
My heart rate monitor battery died about a month or so ago, and honestly, I’ve been lost without it. Today, I decided to change the battery myself so I went searching for the correct battery and a teeny-tiny screwdriver.
At my daughter’s suggestion, my first stop was Walmart’s Vision Center. I asked at the desk if they had a screwdriver for sale that would fit the tiny little screw as I showed her my HRM wrist monitor.
She smiled, and said “I have all the tools to do that, if you go buy the battery in jewelry, I’ll put it in for you.” I was SO surpised! And I got so excited! I went and bought the battery and came back.
I was chatting with her from the doorway as she was working on it, and was telling her that the HRM that she was repairing helped me lose 100 lbs. And we chatted a bit more, and she said she was struggling a bit with her weight . . . at that point, I mentioned Sparkpeople (I normally do if people are interested in more details about my weight loss) and she said she had JUST JOINED!
So I told her it was a WONDERFUL site, and (with prompting from my dear hubby–I was so excited I completely didn’t think of it) gave her my Spark screen name. I hope she visits my page, and I hope she knows that she really, REALLY made my day. She went far above and beyond anything I expected when I first set foot in WalMart (a store I normally avoid due to crowds).
So do something unexpected and kind for somebody! You could make THEIR day!
