.I Saw You: Paying It Forward

To the person at the nautical-themed discount clothing store who stepped in and paid my bill … so sorry I didn’t get your name. I was shocked, surprised, touched and I can’t thank you enough. My card was declined at the cashier (don’t know why, hardly use it, payment not due, card not expired) It. just. DECLINED. Anyways, your generosity just touched my heart. Thank you so much! Hope you are blessed today and every day. Wow, so nice to see and be surprised by humanity like that. I had the worst day at work, stressed and maybe shouldn’t be shopping … and you just put a smile back on my face. Truly touched. Thank you, and I’m sorry I didn’t know how to react to your kindness. But I am beyond grateful!
