Friday is looking up already!

I stop by the Corner Bakery on Michigan on my way to work in the mornings.  I ditched Starbucks because Corner Bakery gives out coffee cards so that after you buy six coffees the seventh coffee is free.  It’s a small perk, but the mornings that I get free coffee totally make my whole day.  Yesterday was my free coffee day, so today I kindly asked the cashier for a new coffee card.  He smiled and said, “Hmmm, you’re not smiling this morning like you normally are.  I think you deserve a free coffee tomorrow.  It’ll make your Friday that much better.  Chin up.”  He then hands me a coffee card with all six holes punched out!  It was a small, random act of kindness that really brought me up with this entire world seems to be crashing down.  There really is goodness out there.
