Gift #3 - February 19th

John, my husband, & I went to lunch today at one of our favorite Mexican joints.  I had another gift idea in mind for the day but as we arrived it dawned on me I had, in my wallet, a gift certificate for a free dessert to that restaurant.  I decided I would give that away to a stranger. 

As we sat eating lunch another couple sat down in the booth behind us.  I didn't see them come in but felt the slight bounce in my seat as the opposite diner slide into her side.  I told John I was going to give them the certificate.  He replied "Yeah, do it!".  As we waited on the check I started feeling uncomfortable about approaching a complete stranger.  I thought maybe I would have John do it.  Then, I thought that would defeat my purpose.  So, as we got up to leave, I approached them.  The husband politely declined and I felt this slight panic with the idea of having to approach another stranger.  But, then, the wife said "Sure, I'll take it!".  Thanks sister.  They both smiled, then John & I smiled.  It was really nice.  Walking to the car I felt this urge to just start giving more stuff away.  This felt good.
