Make a Difference Day

This week has been difficult to say the least, finding out with certainty that my father's cancer is back with a vengeance. Definitely the kind of week that makes one want to stay in bed forever.
A small, random act of kindness by a stranger lightened my mood, however, in the Starbucks drive through. Waiting for Devon's Nutcracker rehearsal to end, I decided to indulge in a latte on Thursday. ("Lattes," said Dana, "cure everything.") When I reached the window, the girl in the drive through informed me with a smile that the stranger in the car before me had decided to buy my latte....just because.
That small gesture put a smile on my face for the next two days. Literally.
