Beautiful day!

It is said, that the number eight (8) represents the meeting of heaven and earth! And today, I was blessed by eight little tokens, that sum up to me feeling right now like my feet are planted upon cloud nine! I was purchasing Revlon ColorStay foundation and lipstick at the self-checkout kiosk at Kroger (a grocery store) today, and as I read the balance total, it happened to be that I was four cents short! And so, I turned to the lady waiting by me, and said to her, "Hi sweets! Do you perchance have four pennies I could borrow?" (sometimes I am whimsical and don't always consider the technicalities of language), and she said, "Yes, I'll look in my change purse!", and with a single pinch, she sprinkled, kind as ever, four pennies into the palm of my hand! And so I said, "Thank you so very much!", picked up the bag of make-up, and walked through the sliding exit doors, into what I call the sunroom of Kroger (the room with many beautiful doormats and runners made of the same material, surrounded by sliding glass doors and windows, that is in need of a space heater on cold days), and said to the sweet lady and her daughter selling Girl Scout Cookies, "I love Girl Scout Cookies! I just bought $48.00 in cookies from the little angel I babysit for! I tried the Daisy-Go-Rounds the other night, and they are soooo good!" And she said to me, "We just opened a bag of Daisy-Go-Rounds! Here, have some!" and so I reached out my hand, and she poured four of these little penny shaped cookies into the palm of my hand! And so, I thanked her! And walked through another set of sliding glass doors into the spacious parking lot! I hopped in my car, and then thought, ya know, I should give something back too! So I pulled up to the entrance of Kroger as the song, "Click, flash" began to play (this is a song that calls for glamourous lipstick to be worn, and to be adored for wearing it), and hopped back out, back into the sunroom and said to the sweet lady and her daughter, "I can't not give you something! Here is a lipstick and the color is Wild Orchid! Have a beautiful day!"~ And smiling, the sweet lady and her daughter said, "Thank you! Thank you!" ~ Lovely!
