Savoring a "Chocolate Chip Cookie" and Being Grateful for Another Person's Kindness!

 "Chocolate Chip Cookie Moments"

Sometimes a kind gesture enters our life when we least except it. I had a chaotic day yesterday at work. I was called into supervise at the last moment at work and knew I could't cancel my appointment with the optometrist that I had made weeks ago. What was I to do? The breaker for the sales advisors staff wasn't coming in either so I had to juggle two job responsibilities and still leave for an hour for my appointment.

It was all quite entertaining, having to change into a different pair of clothes, waiting for a friend to pick me up to take me to the optometrist since driving wasn't an option (I was getting my eyes dilated). Everything ran smoothly though, thanks to a team of people that had my back.

Well...when work was over, I was relieved to have some "me time" and decided to go to a strip mall that has my favorite natural foods market but I made a detour and went inside a bake shop. This bake shop is known for making some of the best breads, cinnamon rolls, and cookies in town. A warm-hearted woman was at the counter and I couldn't decide what to get so she asked "How about a chocolate chip cookie?"

There was a stack of chocolate chip cookies right in front of her. She took a dollar out of a tin and said "I want to buy a chocolate chip cookie for you because you're so nice." WOW....what an experience that was. She handed me the delicious looking chocolate chip cookies and I thanked her for being so thoughtful and sweet. It was such a lovely moment to be given something in such a sweet way.

When I got home I indulged in that chocolate chip cookie and it was truly one of the best chocolate chip cookies I ever had. This was a savoring moment and I'm grateful for the employee at "THE BAKE SHOP" on Garfield Avenue for ending my busy day with my favorite dessert, a chocolate chip cookie."

Have you ever had an experience like this? It certainly is a precious moment to be treated with kindness.

A BIG THANK YOU FOR KIND AND THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE AND OF COURSE FOR

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!!!

Starbucks & Debbie

This afternoon I stopped into a Starbucks and asked for a sample of the new "Blond Roast." I was expecting just a tiny cup sample but instead the barista poured me a generous cup of the "Blond Roast"  and recommended trying it with a few drops of vanilla syrup which I did. What a beautiful moment it was to enter Starbucks wanting to try the new "Blond Roast" and given a generous sample with kindness and warmth by Debbie the barista. STARBUCKS and its customers are very fortunate to have such a shining star employee as Debbie who brightened my day by greeting me with a big smile and friendly "May I help you?" When I asked for a sample she rewarded me with something I just wasn't expecting.  How nice it is to know that every now and then someone can make all the difference in just a few moments. This was the case with the amazing STARBUCKS barista Debbie who deserves high praises for being so awesome. Thank You Starbucks and Thank You D...

The Cows

After attending a lovely morning Christmas service I decided to take a bicycle ride through the countryside. I was on my own and had nobody to spend Christmas with so I just kept paddling on the trail and enjoying the scenery and smell of the fragrant pine trees.  When  I stumbled across cows in the distance I was ecstatic because I love cows, so I turned my bike around and meandered to the pubic road that led to the farm. When I saw two cows in the meadow my face lighted up with joy. The cows saw me and ran to the fence to greet me. For several minutes they just stood there next to me and made me feel so loved and appreciated. I no longer felt alone on Christmas Day. In moments when we feel so alone how assuring it is to know that there are some living creatures to cheer us up. Those two sweet cows I spent time with on a warm Christmas afternoon were beautiful CHRISTMAS moments. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL LIVING CREATURES!

The Penny

Holding down three jobs and always multi-tasking it felt so good to sit down for a few moments in the backyard the other day. I dreamed of easier times when life was more "carefree." Suddenly I noticed a penny on the ground. It hadn't been there before and my inner voice told me to pick it up. I did and was mesmerized with the year engraved on the penny. That year I was blessed with the best carefree summer of my life and the memories flooded my mind of that sweet summer long ago. That penny gave me hope that my guardian angels knew my pain and distraught and assured me that "moments" of happy times will come again someday. "The penny" was my sign of hope that someday there will be carefree moments again. Believe in those little signs that come into your moments of everyday life.
