Busy busy busy

I just can't get ahead! I was the helping parent yesterday, today we have a play date and my parents are coming for dinner. Tomorrow is the "Mother's Day Tea" at my son's school, so I have to make cookies tonight. And I have to get to Wal-Mart and BJ's this week for groceries. I think this weekend might be a good one. We don't have anything on Saturday and I am shopping all day Sunday with my girlfriends for clothes for Jamaica. C'mon Saturday....I just gotta make it until then.

I went to the grocery this morning and there was an older woman in front of me in the entry where you get your cart. She pulled a cart out for herself, saw me behind her with two children, and gave me the cart she had pulled out for herself. I was so thankful and surprised. What a sweet, kind thing to do. I thanked her profusely and she said "Oh, your welcome," like it was no big deal. Then she said, with such feeling, "You have a terrific day." My son said, "That was nice of her. Why did she do that, Mommy?" I told him she did that because she was a very nice person. Without doing anything huge and without even knowing it she made my day. Every once in a while we need our faith restored that kindness does exist out there, and maybe a reminder to act in such a manner ourselves. Wouldn't the world be a nicer place if we all acted in such a manner toward each other?
