Day 133: A Coffee A Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Day 133: A Coffee A Day Keeps the Doctor Away

I decided to take Andrew Allen’s lead from his guest post on 365give last week and do a coffee GIVE. This is the easiest way to GIVE someone a wonderful surprise in their day. I liked doing it so much and so did the women working at the coffee shop, I have decided to do it once a week.

Day 133: Give 133

Today was one of the easiest GIVES I have done to date. I went to get myself a cup of tea at our local coffee house, Bean Around the World and I asked the women serving me to add a “tall” coffee to my bill. I wanted to buy the next person that was coming in the door for their morning fix a big “Cup of Joe.” The women serving me was so excited to see who that person would be and what they would say. I was just happy to know, I gave someones day a little boost.

I left one of my 365give business cards for the “coffee person” of the day and if you happen to be out there – the person that received their coffee from me – send us note. As much as I love giving, I love hearing how it feels to receive. Especially your morning coffee!

No miracles, no changing the world, but with any luck I change one persons world for a minute today and just maybe that inspired them to in turn, do the same for someone else.

Time Commitment: 1 minute

Cost: $2.00
