There's something about a totally random paid-for coffee that puts everything in perspective. Up here in the north, it's drive-through coffee everywhere. I was in a drive-thru once, all beat up from life, exhausted, discouraged. I ordered a coffee and continued up to the window. Cashier: It's already paid for. Me: What!!?? Cashier: The man in the car ahead. I watch the car ahead turn into the traffic and race off. Me: Uh, okay. Cool. I had no idea who it was -- but somehow, the weightiness of the day seemed lighter.
First chance I had, I bought one for the car behind me. I hope your mom enjoys her new job and is appreciated by them.
