Day #2: 29-Day Giving Challenge

Just got back from a little trip out to Target. Since this was possibly going to be my only venture outdoors today, I was on alert, looking for ways to give. I ended up buying a few little goodies for Rob to use throughout my 29 days. But as I was exiting the store, I saw the perfect opportunity awaiting me.

Standing at a table in front of Petsmart were two young girl scouts and a mother. According to weather.com, to the right you'll see what the weather is like in Cinnaminson, NJ this afternoon. Not exactly ideal for sitting outside selling cookies.

I walked over and started chatting with the young girl who was determined to hold a handmade sign on a huge piece of fluorescent green poster board, despite the gusty winds. "Do you ever get sick of cookies?" I asked. "Never!" she enthusiastically responded, as most young girls would, I'm sure. She told me her favorites were the Thin Mints. I asked her co-seller what her favorites were and she told me it was the Peanut Butter Patties. Me too. A serving size is 2 cookies, but I'll scarf a whole box at a time!

So I took a box of each of their favorites. The girl with the sign said, "I should have told you I had more favorites!" So cute. I paid them, and they struggled with their gloved hands to give me my change. Then I handed the boxes right back to them. "This one's for you, and this one's for you. You deserve a little treat for your hard work!" They were surprised and thanked me, and I walked away all smiles. That great feeling was more delicious than a Peanut Butter Patty!
