Do you ever bang your funny bone really hard, and then wake up the next day sore too? I smashed the crap out of my knee as I was running through the house for something that probably didn't warrant running, and today I am limping. It's not all bad, I decided that in honor of my sore knee I would "retire" to the pergola this morning and play on the computer and drink coffee. I have a ride scheduled with a friend on Sunday though, so it needs to do whatever it's going to do and get better.
After buying the boas, I drove around town trying to find a Starbucks that was still open (this is Oklahoma City). I finally hit on the one by a big hospital, score! I opted for the drive-thru since I had live cargo, and then it happened. Somebody ahead of me paid for my order. Not only did it feel like a special gift from that person, it felt like a special gift from fate-that fate chose ME to get the free Venti Carmel Macciato. (yeah, I had an active day yesterday and calories to burn-please note-no "skinny" in front of it-2 percent milk and real sugar...oh).
This just proves my theory that the milk of human kindness is not low fat!

'the milk of human kindness is not low fat'...man oh man that is a perfect quote!
i believe that if you give to others, kindness will come back to you, not always where you expect it from...so..'the milk of human kindness often comes from an unknown cow'!!!! oooh i like that too.
as for that knee, maybe riding is not such a good idea this weekend, knees are very tricky joints! just saying...
What a fun experience. I have heard of this before. I have not heard of it happening to anyone that I have known. So happy to hear that it is still happening and you got to drink the milk of kindness.
I love random acts of kindness!!
I paid for a car behind me at a toll booth once and I paid the shortage of cgange for a person in front of me at the grocery store.
I think I'll do something real soon. I love that!
I'll bet the coffee tasted extra good ;)
Oh...baby the knee today. Riding may work out the rest of the kinks.
I can't believe someone in front of you paid for your coffee. I've heard stories about this happening but have never actually known anyone that it happened to. So cool.
