I just wanted to continue my celebration of niceness today, by pointing out the kindness of a stranger.
This one goes out to the lady at Walgreens who translated for me the card, en Espanol, that I was wanting to buy for my friend. I appreciate that she did not get upset with me for maybe sort of having to do some racial profiling before I approached her. I appreciate also that she laughed, and said I have good taste in cards. In addition, she did not lie and make up a translation (which I would have been tempted to do) but translated it literally, and accurately. I know this because of the last nice thing that she did, which was to turn the card over and show me the tiny print on the back in which they write what it says in English for those of us who are monolingual.
Thank you kind stranger. You were totally worth the price of the candy bar that I bought for you to say thanks! I hope the people in your life know how nice you are!!
I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.
