I was working as a Cashier in a local retail establishment, a part time job I had between professional positions. I enjoyed the people contact as I had tired of talking with sheep and chickens.
One evening a woman entered the store and I greeted
her. She was wearing a wool winter coat
that was red and on the left was a large silver sheep brooch. It was LOVELY! And I said so. She was a little taken aback. I was trying to make her feel welcome and yet
I was truly admiring this lovely brooch.
I said I have sheep and her sheep was really sweet.
When this customer was ready to check-out, I was attending
to another customer. After the woman in
the red coat left, my colleague who had rung her through the check-out, came to
me and gave me the sheep brooch. She told
me the woman wanted me to have it and asked my colleague to give it to me after
she had left.
I was – and continue to be – so very touched by this super
kind gesture. I now wear the silver sheep
on my red wool coat. Whenever anyone
comments on my sheep brooch I share this story.
Thank you, lady in the red wool coat, for the lovely silver
sheep brooch. I am grateful for your
kindness and for the addition to my “flock”.
I enjoy sharing this story of your Random Act of Kindness.
