That's the very thought I had while arguing with the young man who "insisted" on using his two quarters to finish paying for my coffee. <br /><br />I finally gave up, thinking "God wants to bless me through this guy." And I know he will be blessed through the kind deed he did, also.Laurean Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242693739806417138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051064094177217990.post-61944109992233267162012-02-16T20:04:46.109-05:002012-02-16T20:04:46.109-05:00LOL - and God didn't want you to find your dis...LOL - and God didn't want you to find your discount card!

They buy homes and acreage near the lake, swearing realtors to silence; but you know word gets out. LOL. <br /><br />The lady in the Walmart checkout line behind me said she saw Hank Williams, Jr. picking his son up at school. I didn't realize Hank lived up there full time, or that he had a young son. <br /><br />But, come to think of it, it's probably less than two hours from Nashville.<br /><br />Yes, it's all true. There are a few clubs around Paris Landing. He probably plays at those frequently. But, Chuck Norris? What is he doing in this area? Who knows? <br /><br />Celia, you are an awesome writer. I love your characters, your style and your voice. Heck, I even love your plots. LOL. <br /><br />Than you for stopping by to comment.

I thank God each time for the little blessings and they really aren't to be taken for granted. And I've had clerks put a couple of cents in when I didn't have one. I always wish I had a lot of money to just reward some of the nice people that do these things. It does tend to make your day and you do feel blessed.<br />Love and Blessings<br />RitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051064094177217990.post-72579530594178549132012-02-16T15:07:13.724-05:002012-02-16T15:07:13.724-05:00Linda W, you may be right.

Of course, we need that time to develop a good plot and awesome characters. <br /><br />Still, we need balance in every aspect of life.

It just proves that if we authors would get off out computers for a while and go shopping, we might be the recipient of good deeds or we could do a good deed our self. Haha!

You know, I think your sort of "invited" people to be nice to you because you are such a pleasant friendly person. People respond to that in someone and you bless their day. I've heard it said that it takes more grace to receive than to give. And you accepted these gifts graciously.<br />Hope this day and all the days ahead are also good days for you.<br />LindaLinda Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749255692298669394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051064094177217990.post-43991055320467861792012-02-16T13:54:16.123-05:002012-02-16T13:54:16.123-05:00Ouch, Larry!

Lunch with Chuck which went great. As usual he does most of the talking. Then a trip to a lab where a young lady, wife of a runner friend, did experiments on me since I'm an aging athlete for her PhD. She zapped my leg nerves causing the twitching and she said I was a great volunteer. I got paid fifty bucks! A visit to the Red Cross to donate my 188th pint of blood was painful however.Larry Hammersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02374373137478765952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051064094177217990.post-81272042810474460252012-02-16T11:47:08.862-05:002012-02-16T11:47:08.862-05:00You think I shoulda played the lottery yesterday, ...You think I shoulda played the lottery yesterday, Gail?
