Since I started this blog my random acts have always been leaving gifts to be found, and some of the recipients post here on the blog (for which I am so thankful and encouraged to keep going). However there have been many gifts I have wondered if were ever found or appreciated. Some I left outside and they could have blown away and others might simply have been overlooked and thrown away.
The #26Acts effort made me think outside the box and look for new and different ideas since I had so many to do in a short period of time. One of my pleasures is often going to breakfast on Sunday morning at a favorite spot near my home. A few weeks ago I decided to choose a family in for breakfast and pay for their meal. I worked with a waitress I was familiar with to pull off the anonymous gesture. I did not stay long enough to see their reactions, but for the first time since I began my life as the Undercover Ladybug, I got to see and choose the recipients.
This morning I was back for breakfast and the waitress filled me in on the family's stunned reaction. It made me so thrilled that I told her we would have to do it again today and continue it into the future. It feels a bit like we are partners in kindness!
Kindness has a ripple effect in the world and my hope is all finders find at least one small way to pay it forward!
PS - Thank you to today's recipients for the comment. You have made my day and warmed my heart! :)
