So I drift into the room where I teach and there on my desk is a humongous bag of the stuff to the left. I stared at the note; It just says that this is for enjoyment purposes only. Since I love Crunchy Cheetos I decided it was a gift for me. I left another note on the bag saying that others could could partake of this treat. After devouring several handfuls I proceeded to clamp the bag shut and place it on the center of my desk.
I stared at it. I opened it again. I ate 41 CC and then closed it tight. I stared at it. Then I thought how IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH to add a smile or feeling of "someone thought of me today!"
Life must be more than Cheetos. Maybe. I told Judy about the bag and she asked: "Did you eat any?" The look and question was like, "I hope you had the wisdom and strength to resist." I told the truth. Later Judy was in the room helping me get organized. When she got home I asked if she had seen the bag. She said, yes. I then asked if she had partaken of the wicked treat. Another yes followed the question. She smiled. I smiled. Stop by and look at this random act of kindness. And help yourself to the Cheetos. (I'd prefer you pour them into your hand, but if that's not your style-go for it any which way.) Thanks to you who put it there, and to the rest of us, remember how thoughtfulness can happen because of you-and me!
