Christmas Pins

Who would have thought that my first post after over a year would be about a Walmart employee? I don't think anyone even follows my blog anymore, but I would feel ungrateful to not take the time and write down my thoughts. Today I went to Walmart to grab a few items, which always turns out to be way more than expected. I like to go through the self check out because it always seems faster and I don't have to talk with anyone. I know, not the best way to approach life, but just the same, there I was checking my own stuff out. About halfway through checking out the lady who watches over all the self checkouts comes over and starts watching me. She was an older lady. At first I was just thinking this was another annoying Walmart worker making sure I am not ripping anything off. Then she started to take things out of my bags and said, "Here, let me help you, I can't save you a lot, but every little bit matters". She proceeded to cancel about 6 of my items and enter the sale prices from other stores, saving me about $5 in the end. Then she brought over a small box with some handmade Christmas pins and asked if I would like one. I have to say, she made my day, she put a smile on my face, and made me feel happy; nothing like I normally feel when I leave Walmart. I felt blessed to have had the chance to meet her. I thanked her for all her help and for the sweet pins (she gave me two so that both my girls could have one). I feel like being a better person and what a great way to start out the Christmas season.
