have you seen that "pay it forward" commercial? where someone picks up a stuffed animal for a baby in a stroller, and then a chain of niceties ensues? i think i totally was part of that today. i had to refill the windshield washer fluid in my car, because it's been out for at least 5 days and i can barely see through my windshield. so i stop at target to get fluid and a jumbo box of nerds (oxymoron), and before i leave the parking lot, i pop my hood to fill up the windshield juice. in my heels and scarf, i'm sure i looked like quite the damsel in distress. but anyways, this saintly woman actually stopped and said, "are you ok? do you need help?" i laughed a little, thinking "if i need help pouring this blue stuff into that hole that says 'put blue stuff here,' yes i need lots of help." i told her i was just refilling the windshield fluid, but thanks for asking and happy holidays. i mean, what a nice person. of all the crazies that are out at the stores right now, it's a miracle that anyone even bothered to look in my direction.

hopefully someone else saw and did something nice for someone else~
