I've been very neglectful of my bee nice project for the past six months. My intentions were to have done so much more by this point in the year, but life happens and other important things needed my attention more than this. However, I'm happy to say that yesterday I was out and about and performed my first 'in person' bee nice act!
I drove over to a local grocery store and got a $5.00 gift card, slipped a bee nice card in with it, and put it on the windshield of one of the cars in the lot. I really wanted to stick around to see the reaction of the person when they saw the card, so I drove a few lanes over in the parking lot, parked in a spot where I could see the car, and waited.
With each person that came out of the store and walked in the general direction of the car, my heart did a little pitter patter of excitement. I was really looking forward to the right person walking out! Finally, a woman pushing a big cart full of groceries headed straight for the car. I watched her as she loaded up her trunk, pushed the empty grocery cart back to the cart corral, walked back to her car, and got in to the driver's seat. As quickly as the door closed, it opened back up, as she got out of the car to figure out what was on her windshield. She stood opened it up and I could see that she was looking at the gift card and at the bee nice card, front and back. After looking at it for a bit of time, she got back in the car, and that was that!
I wasn't close enough to her to really see what her reaction was, but I hope that it was happy surprise. I know that I was happy to be doing something nice for her - even though I had never seen her before, and probably never will again.
To the woman in the parking lot (if you happen to be curious enough about the bee nice card that you log onto this blog), I hope I was able to brighten your day just a little bit and that you will do something similarly random and nice for someone else!
