Why Did I Refuse This Random Act of Kindness?

Ponine · 11-26-2007, 05:46 PM

I have to admit that the woman in front of me in line this morning offered to pay for my peppermint mocha, being as she has seen me order it a million times before (we're on the same schedule)
and as I started to say "thats sweet, sure"
I thought of Helen, and had to decline. I was so mortified that I was about to say yes, when one of the people I admire said no.

I think I hate the giving spirit of the holiday season.
