Today is a day to celebrate 100 posts on my blog! I didn't know I would make it this far, but here we are. I am confident that the goal of 365 days of good deeds is going to be met in just about 265 days. We are 27% of the way there! Wait, that doesn't sound like much, let's stick with 100 days down :)
I wanted to do something extra special today but I wasn't sure what. I asked my coworker Miss M if she had any ideas and she suggested making banana bread and handing it out downtown as was one of my favorite times. Hmmm, that's a good idea I thought. And I'll be walking dowtown to the movie tonight so I could hand it out along the way!
On my way to the store after work to get bananas, I changed my mind. I decided I would make sandwiches instead! That would be a nice summer time dinner, right? The sandwich idea then turned into sack dinners. It was so fun shopping down the aisles thinking of what I could put together to make the best meal.
I got home and started putting together 6 brown paper sack dinners. I thought, this is so fun. It's Friday night at 7pm. Usually I'd be thinking about what to wear, where to go, and all about my own entertainment after a long week of work. But not tonight! I am thinking about how to add a little brightness to someone's day, something this blog has taught me to focus on daily.
Ahh! We're just about out of mayonnaise, I realized as soon as I opened the jar. So I walked to the market around the corner, but the only jar of mayo they had was expired. Ok, I'll use mustard and what little mayo we have left. Some people might only want mustard anyway, it could just be me who doesn't want a cheese sandwich without mayonnaise!
So I began assembling the sacks - a cheese sandwich, bag of chips, orange juice, 2 candies, 2 mints and a note that says "Made With Love~ For You".
As soon as D arrived home, we started walking downtown with a shopping bag full of sack dinners. We found a few solo men who were very appreciative, one of them touched my arm as I handed it to him and gave me a look with his eyes that was so powerful tears began welling up in my eyes. It was like he was saying thank you with the most meaning anyone has ever thanked someone before.
Some people gave a look like "What are you asking me?" while some don't hesitate a bit and hold their hands out saying "Yes!"
It was a wonderful night. Oh yes, and the movie was fabulous too!
Peace :)
