A short story from this morning (Christmas Eve).
I was stocking our hometown H-E-B this morning (yes Christmas Eve...so you wanna own your own business huh?). LOL LOL
When I finished up I noticed a late model van that was packed full of ya know, well tons of stuff. After closer inspection I realized that someone was living in this van. It seems that I run across this more and more lately.
As the driver got out to go into the store I grabbed a couple of bags of coffee and a $10 bill and handed it to her. Pretty small 'gift' but it was what I had at my disposal at the moment. She said "well thank you sir, that is so kind." She put the money in her purse then looked down at the coffee. She had this perplexed look on her face as she took the coffee into the store.
I got back in the delivery van and drove off thinking "what was that confused look all about?"
It came to me about a block away. She had to have been thinking "I guess that guy didn't notice that I was living in my van with absolutely no means to brew this stuff!"
I'm sitting here at home now. Got a fire roaring, a hot cup of Guatemalan Anitigua brewed and waiting on my three healthy kids to get up so that I can make them breakfast. I feel like a pretty lucky guy.
Let's hope things turn around for her soon and that she has a nice warm place to brew that coffee soon!
Enjoy your family and friends.
Merry Christmas and thanks for all the support in 2010.
