Be the One
Message from the Universe:
"One kind person can make such a difference. One compassionate hand placed on a hand in distress can make such a difference. One phonecall, one thank-you note, one sweet text message can make every bit of difference.
One smile in the grocery store, one proclamation of forgiveness, one loaf of freshly baked bread, one handmade card, one offer to help can make such a huge difference.
It's the little things that make the heroes. It's the one thing, after one thing, after one thing. It's that one person who makes the difference.
Be the one."
I had a couple of rough days. Out sick for two days that actually necessitated the rare visit to the doctor's office that always prompts an endless lecture from the doctor. When I was finally well enough to crawl out of bed and get out I went to check on something at the slaughterhouse... knowing that Bumbo the Clown was eventually going to go back to the Slaughterhouse and leave a Bumbo button for me, I wanted to surprise Bumbo so I left a gift bag....nothing big...just something that I hoped would bring a smile. I wanted to see if it was still there. It wasn't. I was disgusted, thinking once again people had disappointed me by ruining something left in kindness for someone else. And then, as I was about to leave, I saw one of the Bumbo records! YES! Bumbo had been there.... which meant only one thing... well, actually two things.... it meant that they had found their gift bag.... AND somewhere there was a Bumbo button for me!! I ran back to the car and got my flashlight and started to search. The buttons were hidden well, but I found them! There were 3. I took 2 (because I lose everything, so I wanted a spare!) and I left one for someone else to find. Random acts of kindness.... this TOTALLY MADE MY DAY!! And when I got home, I found that Bumbo had left me a message on Facebook telling me where to find the buttons and thanking me for the gift bag. I'm really glad I didn't see the message before I went. The surprise was much more fun! Thank you Bumbo the Clown... whoever you are!!!
Random acts of kindness....
Ice coffee on my desk at work.
People that fan out scratch off lottery tickets in front of me and say "pick one."
Or...."I found a tripod, do you want it?"
Or..."If you are really that scared, I'll come stay with you."
Kind words from online friends.
Texts and calls from friends.
...And clown buttons....hidden on top of a door jamb in one of my favorite abandoned places.... and the promise...
"if I win the powerball I will hide a ridiculous amount of $$$ in your window-house (or whatever you call that place!)"
LOL!!
Be the one. Be the hero. ♥
