Cheers!




"The best way to cheer yourself is to cheer somebody else up."
Albert Einstein

Wandering in a store, I overheard two young women admiring small vases.  In the next aisle, I heard them excitedly discover a cake plate.  A lady appeared out of no where, and began telling the two of them what a bargain they had found.

One of the young women explained that she was shopping for her wedding and could not afford both the vase and the cake plate.  In a swift motion, the lady took out her billfold,  and extracted money, while saying, "Here, get them both!"  She then quickly walked away.

In the very next store, I came upon this same woman.  After some hesitation, I decided to approach her.  I told her I had observed what she had done, and quickly explained what was most important to me ... witnessing her spontaneous loving kindness.  I explained that she had truly blessed my day.  Then, she cried.
