I was shopping in Walmart last week, always an ordeal for me physically. Finally was checking
Out and had my card ready to pay. Someone grasped the card from my hand. I turned around and a woman standing there said , I want to do something for you.She gave my card back, then gave the cashier enough money and more to pay my bill. It wasnt a small amount, enough for me
To Live on for a week. I was surprised of course, and ask her why she did that. She looked at me and said because I can. Kindness can make a better life, and is something we all are capable of.
I hugged her, she hugged me and we both were happy.

Random acts, sometimes the best thing to happen.

(15,812 posts)My son had his groceries paid for last week too. Someone came along and paid for the person in front of him, him and the person behind him.
My son is in his mid-20s, in grad school but doing okay financially, but it was such a nice thing to do!
He only had a package of Klondike bars though
Its such an unexpected and nice thing to do.
