B A s an instructional coach, I like to keep my candy boxes full in my office, with a variety of treats for my teachers. S o this particular Saturday, I headed over to Walmart to check out the latest shipment of sorted Christmas candy. S ure, enough, the shelves were freshly stocked with all the latest Reese ’ s White Crème and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Trees! I picked up a couple of big bag items and headed on my way. Remembering my husband told me to be sure to get the tires repaired, I swung into Les Schwab to see if they could help me. S ure enough they got me in right away. I t wasn ’ t going to take long, so I just stayed in the vehicle . 6 or 7 guys in the shop worked together like a race track pit( 修理加油站 )crew and I was done in minutes. T hen I remembered my candy bag, thinking I’ ll bet these guys would appreciate some peanut butter and chocolate . S o I handed a handful of individually wrapped trees to one of them and told him to share with his buddies. I t was a small thing, but nearing the end of the busy day at the tire shop, I saw them standing around like kids with treats. Y ou would have thought I gave them gourmet desserts! “ Thanks so much for coming in today and your sweet candies! ” I heard one of them say. A s I drove out of the garage I thought , it truly is the little things in life that make a difference! I’ m going to keep looking for those small opportunities of kindness! I challenge you, the next time you get your tires repaired, take along a bag of candy!
