After my fussing over rude strangers' remarks, I was nearly brought to tears by a kind stranger at Walmart today.
We were almost finished with our shopping, and, amazingly enough, even though it was in the middle of Elsa's naptime, no tempers had been lost and no tears had been shed. I was headed toward the apples to grab one last item that was on my mental list (see, it wasn't even an organized shopping trip!), and a perfect stranger approached me and said, "You look beautiful!"
Well, that got my attention! :-)
She was a young mom herself with a little one in her cart, and she went on, "You are just glowing. When are you due?"
At that point, I was fighting the tears, and I told her that she had just made my day...my week!
I didn't bother to explain that it wasn't really a glow...that I was just a bit overheated from pushing the cart around the store because, hey, it was the kindest compliment I've received from a stranger, and I didn't really want her to take it back!
