Notes from the quirky life of a practicing contemplative (emphasis on "practicing"), teacher, learner, auntie, weirdo, and dog mama. Title quote from "Aurora Leigh" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

random act of kindness
Made my daily pop run to McD's today. When I paid, the cashier looked at the quarter for a few seconds before getting my change. I realized, oh no, that's the quarter with the national park on the back that I was going to give to Grandpa! I only discovered the other day that they started doing nat'l park quarters this year. Grandpa avidly collected the 50 state quarters, so I think he'll like this. The guy handed me my change on top of the receipt, and I crumpled it all into a ball and tried to hand the guy a dollar and said, "I just gave you a quarter with a picture on it - I've been saving it to give someone. Can I-" He smiled and said, "Yeah, I know - I gave it back." And he had - in addition to the change!
