burgers…mmm…

Saturday night, husband and I went out to eat at our favorite burger joint that happens to be across the street from my former (pre-marital) dwelling.  When I lived in the former dwelling, I ate at this place or had take-out from there at least once a week, but now we live further away, so it is more of a treat when we go.  I’m rambling.

 So, we eat our burgers and fries.  We’re having fun.  We get our bill for all of sixteen dollars and some cents and we just feel happy, so we decide to tip $20.  It felt good.  I don’t know what our waitress’ (pc: server’s) reaction was, but I hope that it encouraged her and made her day, because it encouraged me and made mine.

The real question for the universe is, why don’t we do crap like this more often?  I know that money doesn’t grow on trees, but I guess I’m referring to the random “spreading of joy” type of behavior.  There’s a move where Helen Hunt wears short skirts and tacky tops called “Pay it Forward” that works on a similar, but more global premise… interesting concepts.

Now, I’m feeling kind of hippie.

Peace.
