Macy’s grocery store has wonderful soft-serve ice cream.

Really.

The great thing is, it is unbelievably cheap for what they give you; $ .84 for a medium which is about 4 inches over the cone.

Like I said, it’s a deal.

I started doing something awhile back that I wanted to share. I share this not as a way of boasting. Please don’t think that I’m boasting, because I’m not. I’m sharing this with you as a challenge.

Whenever I go to Macey's, I always purchase one or two medium cones. The gal behind the counter will then inquire, “What flavor would you like?”

“Nothing for now,” I respond.

This nearly always brings a look of confusion from the lady on duty unless unless she’d been working on a time I’d come before and remembers me. I then go on to explain:

“I’d like you to save these cones until somebody comes along who looks like they really need one. I'd like you to give one to them and say, ‘somebody bought you an ice cream cone because it looks like you needed it’ and then let them pick the flavor they'd like.”

This always brings a smile from the lady on duty and something to the effect of, “Now that is sooooooo cool!”

I do this not to boast, I do it not to brag, but in regard to a challenge...(don't you just hate this blog? I'm always asking you to do something). The next time you're in line at a drive-thru, at the counter at a restaurant, or wherever else, buy a little pick-me-up for somebody else.

It only costs me eighty-four cents to make someone else’s day.

Isn’t a stranger’s day worth 84 cents?

Yeah, that’s what I thought too.
