Can $1 bring happiness?

I think it probably can…times 2 !!!

I went to the Hospice Thrift Store this morning and an older gentleman was checking out but he only had a twenty and his bill was $1. She said she didn’t have change yet to accept a twenty. He went to the car but couldn’t find $1. I overheard the part where she said she would hold his purchases and he could come back later. When he walked out the door, I asked how much he owed and she said $1. So I said I would pay it and went out to his car and handed his bag through the window and told him it was gift. Back inside I started to shop….and here he came again. He kept going on and on with his gratitude and then started talking to the sales clerk. He was buying puzzles. He and his friends work puzzles every day from 3 to 5. Then as he was leaving he started thanking me again. When he was gone, the sales clerk thanked me, too! EEEE! It was only one dollar!

So what did I buy (with the rest of my money)?

This cute little lavender candle holder for 50 cents

 

and these tiny crocheted tea cups, 25 cents each.

Oh….another one dollar’s worth of happiness!

Has $1 ever brought you THIS much JOY?
