It Doesn't Take Much

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!
