Last night a friend and I stopped at Starbucks in between meetings. She confidently walked up and ordered herself a beverage. Once she stepped aside, I stepped up and stared blankly at the girl serving. I had stage fright, fearing that words like "Iced Cap" or "double double" would spew outa my mouth. I do not know how to order at Starbucks. Feeling foolish, I moved to one side and told a little old lady to go ahead of me. I explained to her that I had no idea what to order. While she was making her selection, I decided that I was just going to sit down and not order at all. I said as much to the little old lady.
I watched her leave the coffee shop as I chatted with my friend.
A couple of minutes later, what should appear in front of me but a raspberry mocha frappuccino blended coffee!! It was beautiful, complete with whipped topping and raspberry drizzle. And a little note with its name written on it.
This little old lady bought me a drink, and gave me the means to order my own in the future. I was so touched.
There is nothing like an unexpected kindness to fill ones heart to overflowing. This time, kindness came in the form of a coffee. And coffee never tasted so good...

Wow!
How absolutely wonderful of that special lady to look after you like that.
And I love the fact that she didn't just send a drip or something generic, but when for the gusto with something spectacular!
I do believe I will try that beverage next time.
If you are looking for an alternative in the future, my fav is the Caramel Macchiato with extra caramel.
That is so sweet! we need more people like that.
and my fave is simple: vanilla latte
Pay it forward! That's my motto.
its been a while since i have visited your blog. but today, i have been grumpy all day for no good reason at all. this post had me laughing my head off, now i'm in a good mood!
No, I wasn't rolling on the floor laughing because an old lady bought you a coffee, that is sweet, not funny.
I was laughing at the stolen car out of gas story...
apparantly i left my comment on the wrong post, jokes on me.
