Thanks for stopping by & I love that Eeyore pulled you in to read this post and that you identified with it. I think everyone must have those moments (well maybe not the toilet paper, full trash, empty box ones – obviously, or they wouldn’t exist). And I keep trying to remind myself when they happen that all I need to do is look around & I’ll find inspriation somewhere. Sometimes that’s hard to do. Glad you found some light here.

Anyway – I felt like I was reading about me (minus the author part). I have those days and I am the only one in my house with toilet paper radar (and full trash and empty box in the freezer…I digress) and I often want to turn into a slug. Self-defeat at stop lights has become a daily afternoon feature. But there always seems to be someone to show me the light. Today it’s you! Great post. Thanks!

We ALL have those days… but somehow tend to think we’re the only ones who have them. It is especially nice when something random and so uplifting happens to turn the day around.

And NO you’re not the only one NOT on the west coast. I have peeps in CO, MO, IL, IN, PA, MA, TX, and the list goes on… including Canada, Singapore, Europe, etc. I’m very chatty.

I’m happy that you able to experience a positive, uplifting moment to redeem a “not so great” afternoon. Oh, and what is this? Am I the ONLY person in your Twitter posse who doesn’t live on the west coast?!

The sparkles will come. And in the most unexpected ways. Be ready to accept them.

I know what you mean. The man didn’t have to keep honking the horn & yelling at me… but I’m so glad he did. Sometimes it is that little act of kindness that takes you so little that will totally turn someone’s day around. We don’t get to know these things in life as far as how we impact others, but we can take the lesson for how others impact us and apply it. 🙂

Seriously, when the forecast calls for snow storms everyone else runs out for milk, bread, etc. Not me. I can survive the snowpocalypse just fine without those things but I have been known to brave the elements to ensure that I have enough TP.

I’m glad that someone took the time to turn your day/week around – that must have been awesome to have him asking about your book! And now that little girl can tell everyone she actually met a real author – in traffic. 🙂

Also? Another lesson/reminder for me:

Everyone has a story. Everyone is fighting their own personal battle and sometimes all it takes is a very simple kindness to turn things around – even if it’s just for that moment.

Thanks hon. And NO you’re not the only one… but you may be the only male of my acquaintance who understands the importance of the TP stockpile.

Glad your week got turned around, good lady! 🙂

Well, he wasn’t picking me up – especially not with his daughter in the car. Although I do recognize not all men would have the same sensibilities…. but maybe, just maybe, he might pick up my books… and that will make me a very happy camper.
