Yesterday while I was waiting in the vet's lobby, a woman came in with a cat. She's a foster cat mom and the cat she took in over the weekend had some issues. She said she couldn't get an appointment with her regular vet for a month. The guy at the desk said they could absolutely work her in but it would be long wait. 3 hours. She said ok, but she needed to move her car and she couldn't find the vet's spaces. He started to explain but I was sure doing nothing so I said "come on, I'll show you." They were both shocked. She followed me out and I took her next door down to the parking garage and showed her were the free spaces were. She was very grateful and even the vet guy thanked me when I got back.

Today I walked down to the tiny little post office about 3 blocks from here to get pretty stamps for my thank you notes. I was the only customer and the clerk was as nice as she could be. I had 6 dollars in my pocket but could only find 3 when it came time to pay. I had more in my wallet so no biggie.

I walked home slowly because no reason to rush and I was out of breath anyway. A full block away, I heard "LADY!!!" There were few people on the street so I turned around. It was the clerk from the post office! She found my 3 dollars on the floor after I left and brought it to me!!! I couldn't believe it but managed to give her a big thank you before she ran back. I was astonished and warmed by her kindness.

But now my karma is back to zero. I need to find another act of kindness to keep the tab in the black!

It must have been one of those post offices where the clerk can close the window and leave on demand. I'm glad they had the stamps you were looking for, too. I'm glad when anyone has a good day like that!

A little kindness can change one’s day.
