SPREADING KINDNESS #3 – Kindness in a Coffee Shop

Kindness is inspiring!!

Today, I was tutoring a student at a coffee shop and we noticed that people in the drive-through were paying for the car behind them.

When a car behind a car had a particularly big order, the folks in the front car paid half of it and I paid the other half.

The student said that he worked a lot and then paid for someone’s order in one of the cars. He inspired me and I took out a gift card I had for the coffee shop and told the baristas to use it up to help keep the kindness going. And they did 🙂

Now I have a smile on my face that won’t go away and a warm feeling in my heart! Kindness is inspiring so pass it on!

How about setting the goal of spreading kindness once every day? You got all kinds of ways you can do it!

As a lifelong learner, I’m always in search of more information. With that in mind, here are some terrific resources for ways to spread kindness:
