Airport Generosity!

Today I join my fellow bloggers in "serving up a slice" 

to the Tuesday Slice of Life (SOL) community.

If you're like me, you can get rather grumpy when it's time to head to the airport. Small annoyances become large in the contained space that we find ourselves in as we wait for our flights.  On Wednesday, I arrived at the Nashville airport two hours before flight time.  I spent a significant amount of time logging steps on my Fitbit (always a good idea to walk before a flight that is 4+ hours long, right? ).   

As flight time draws closer, I stop by the Hudson Newsstand to purchase my favorite snack, toasted peanut butter crackers.  They have packages of cheese and crackers and peanut butter with the orange crackers, but no toasted peanut butter crackers.  I explain my preference to the employee.  She agrees with me, the toasted ones are her favorite too.  I leave empty handed and stand in line for my flight which is adjacent to the newsstand.  

A short time later, someone taps me on the shoulder to tell me to return to the newsstand.  I'm puzzled, pretty sure that I didn't leave anything behind.  Imagine my surprise when I return, and the employee hands me a package of toasted peanut butter crackers (from her own lunchbox), with the words, "I didn't want you to be hungry!"

It's nice to be blessed by the generosity of others.  Now I'm on the lookout for a chance to pass on her thoughtfulness to someone else.  And when I tore off yesterday's calendar page this morning, this is the quote that greeted me for today!
