".../fighting back tears and I don’t know why…" I find this happening at the oddest times. I had to put my sunglasses on to hide the spontaneous tears that were welling up while I waiting for my chai latte at my local coffee shop on Saturday morning. The trigger? The owner, who has three daughters - one my daughter's age - had told me that he'd put IOUs at the counter for each girl on my daughter's volleyball team (they won the state championship ... first time ever) so they could get a hot drink or an ice cream. It was such a simple act of kindness, generosity, and community ... and for some reason, it kind of broke me a little. Even now, thinking about it, I'm tearing up. <sigh>
