Starbuck's Santa

I was at the Starbuck's drive thru yesterday morning, ready to hand my debit card over to the cashier when he startled me.

"High 5," he said.
Ummm, OK.
"The lady in the car ahead of you wanted to wish you
a Merry Christmas and your order is on her!"
"What? Are you serious?"
"Yep ... enjoy your breakfast!" he said.

What a simple, thoughtful act of service and giving during this holiday season. I had a grin a mile wide, shaking my head in disbelief and glee all the way to work.

The best part? I'm officially inspired! Not only did that just brighten my day, but I now can't wait to do something similar.

I encourage each of you reading this to follow in Ms. Honda Pilot's generous footsteps and make someone's day with a small, simple act of kindness. And why not carry this into the New Year. Creatively wish someone a "Merry Monday" one of these days or "Happy Groundhog Day!"
