Welcome home, Melissa, and so sorry you aren't feeling well.

I love your Starbucks story, and find myself imagining that the recipient of your kindness was touched enough to pay it forward, and in turn do something nice for someone else.

Awww your Starbucks story made me cringe a little even though it's so nice. I've been trying to do random acts of kindness ever since I started reading your blog but I'm having trouble overcoming my embarassment about it - I'm afraid of people taking my actions the wrong way. So I've only been doing little things, leaving money in parking meters, stuff like that, where I won't see the person's reaction.
Any tips for getting over that?

Yay for you Melissa! Love those kindness acts. I ...

Yay for you Melissa! Love those kindness acts.

I once paid for the person behind me at a toll gate. The lady at the toll booth didn't even bat an eyelid and knew exactly what I was trying to do. It seems it happens more often at toll gates than at Starbucks eh?

I loved reading the Starbucks story. The girls response made me giggle. One day when I'm not spending all my money on stamps, I'm going to do something like this.

Hi Melissa,
I find the Starbuck's story to be an interesting one...in how it was so confusing. I've never done this, so now I'm wondering about it more myself. Maybe it's time to try it and see what happens. And I have to agree, it just really feels good to be kind...

So I have to ask, how does paying for the person behind you work? It seems like such a silly question, but you really don't know what they're going to order. Do you just give the cashier $5 and ask them to put it toward the next order? I've only done this at toll booths, but then you know exactly what they're going to pay.
