It's two bucks, but worth so much more
I went to Steve-o-Reno's Cafe this morning before heading down to the Halifax market, and while I was drinking my decaf americano and eating my little egg-muffin, I watched one of the cashiers/baristas. This woman was eccentric, a hipster, I guess (which is a term I learned of recently) with OLD-school glasses, tight black jeans, random hair, and a pair of 80's black leather boots. She eminated the essence of 'cool' and yet somehow compassion at the same time. When I finished my breakfast, I went up to this woman, and asked her for a favour: "Could you take this money and buy someone a coffee sometime? Someone who needs it, who deserves a treat?" She said, "Really? Yeah, sure, I'll totally do that! Wow, yeah. Thanks." I walked out of the cafe thinking how neat it is to give someone the opportunity to give to someone else. A pesimistic mind would begin to wonder if that woman would just pocket the money, but I honestly believe she'll use it as requested when the time is right. And even if she doesn't pass it along, it doesn't really matter.

Yeah two bucks and worth much much more. The act of giving is far more superior than anything else. Dee you did such a good deed. Even if the girl used the money for herself...It still served the purpose...she might have needed that cup of coffee. You must feel so good about yourself.
great Dee! I love that a) you're discovering the world of 'hipsters' (hilarious) and b) that you're infusing the gift of giving into you're daily life. The world is a better place because you're in it.
