Tried something new tonight. I was waiting in line at Costco for my much needed very berry sundae (haha), & of course I chose the wrong line. I must have waited for 20 or 30 minutes in line. I started getting frustrated and impatient. And I had so much to get done at home in preparation for going to Kansas for an unexpected funeral, my anxiety level was rising by the minute. So I thought Id do my RAOK for the day and see what that would do for me and others around me (psychologically). I told the cashier lady my simple sundae order and then said and whatever this young couple behind me is getting. After assuring the couple that I was serious and was going to do it for them, they reluctantly gave the cashier their dinner order. And that simple meager act not only did a 180 for my anxiety filled attitude, but I could see how it dramatically changed the whole mood of the cashier, the young couple behind me, and everyone else who saw what had taken place. So in the end, it was a very rewarding experiment. :) And I get to help us get closer to the 365 RAOK challenge finish line.
