Small Gestures

Today, I was reminded that even the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference. This morning I went to Starbucks to purchase a Carmel Macchiato in honor of my deceased Aunt's birthday. They were her favorite and it's a little thing that I enjoy doing to remember her.

I happened to have a $5 gift card, so after I ordered my drink $0.60 cents or so remained on the card. Instead of stuffing it back into my wallet I offered it to the gentleman behind me in line. He was a Hispanic, blue-collar worker (or looked like it) and he spoke very little English. I did not give him the card, because of his appearance. I was actually oblivious to who was in line behind me. Anyways, I tried my best to explain it only has a few cents on it, but he should use it for his purchase. The cashier was fluent in Spanish so she translated for me. The guy was very thankful and managed to get out a, "Thank you" in English. I smiled and said, "You're welcome. Have a great day!"

Just think, something so little like $0.60 made that guy's morning. Pass it on, friends.

P.S. Here's a picture of me and my Aunt Shirley's drink:)
