I woke up this morning, and as always immediately went to brew large amounts of coffee for myself. But I was out of coffee! 🙁 I just went to the grocery store yesterday… How did I forget coffee?
Anyway, I drove my son to the bus stop for school. Since I was already out, I drove to Dunkin Donuts with my daughter in the backseat.
From the drive-through, I treated myself to a coffee, but of course I had to order a chocolate frosted doughnut with sprinkles for my daughter. This is required if she is present during the ordering or consumption process of any Dunkin Donuts paraphernalia.
Then the guy at Dunkin Donuts asks me if I want to get two doughtnuts because then it’s a combo. I say, “Uhhhh, yes,” because I’m a decision-maker.
Then I see a homeless guy wondering around in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot like some kind of weirdo.
So I gave him the extra doughnut.
Yay! Now thanks to getting caught in this random chain of events, I get to feel awesome all day. Science shows us that giving even a small bit charitably has a positive biochemical reaction inside of us worth hundreds of dollars in so-called ‘happy pills’ or other drugs, without the side-effects. That means I just won a lottery worth hundreds of dollars!
Please congratulate me on my lucky winnings in the comments!
I am very happy for you. And all this time I’ve just been eating all the donuts myself!!! Doh!
That’s not true, actually. I’ve never even been to a Dunkin Donuts.
Congrats on your lottery win. I love your positive out look on things. I afree that a person receives the best feeling when they do something kind for someone else. Maybe that right there is the answer to the world’s problems.
Great post. Most of us don’t appreciate all the little things that so many others go without.
