It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
Recently I was skimming through the news and treading through the usual bad news. This actress is suing so and so. Flooding here. War. Politics. Blah, blah. Bad news. Bad news. And then a bright light. An actual feel good story. Finally. Something different.
So the short of the story goes like this. An older lady was attempting to pay for her groceries and it wasn’t going well. She was in tears. The guy behind couldn’t understand why she was in tears. Her bill wasn’t even $20. There had to be more to it. There was, lots more. So he paid the bill, gave her some encouraging words, his contact information, and where he worked. He was a server at Applebee’s. He encouraged her to come in for a coffee or dessert on him if she needed someone to talk to.
Well, the next night the family came in and ordered the cheapest thing on the menu. Then they asked for the bill to be split. And he received a nice note with a tip of a lifetime.

Trust me that the article gives the story much more detail.
So why am I saying this? To remind you that it’s the little things. Do the little things. I can’t guarantee you will be rewarded like this gentleman was, but it’s the little things that matter.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
