One of my coworkers who has helped me so much through these past few difficult months was sweet enough to buy my dinner tonight. We ran into each other at the Whole Foods near work and walked the store together chatting about how life was going. When we reached the check out line, I put down the divider between her purchases and mine. When I went to put her basket under the belt for her, I got back up to find she had removed the divider and pushed my stuff right up with hers.
This woman has such an amazing spirit and has done so much for me since starting at my job. This simple act of buying my dinner was just the sweetest gesture of love and compassion to an already long list of little things she has done for me.
I am a true believer that things and people come in to your life for a reason. Accepting this job has brought many important opportunities and individuals into my life... including her.
Generous people are rare.
