Encountering Kindness while Yard Saling?
Are yard sales, garage sales, etc. all about selling stuff and making a buck? Or is it about people showing kindness to each other, by selling or giving away the treasure they no longer need or value? Has anyone experienced random acts of kindness while yard saling?
Well, I have to share a quick story with you guys about some kindness I received while yard saling this past weekend. It was the first sale of the morning. My sister and I entered the yard sale and were greeted by some amazing ladies. These ladies made the shopping experience a blast; there was great conversation and a happy atmosphere. The prices were awesome, too (which means more stuff to be bought and put on this very website to share with all of you). When I was checking out, the cashier was even throwing in some of the items for free. WOW!!!! What kindness!
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I sometimes get great items to giveaway on Ewishingwell at yard sales. Thanks to these ladies, I have some fabulous items I will be listing in the coming weeks. It was such an uplifting experience, I had to take a picture to share with all of you.

Hopefully, you guys run into these types of yard sales too. When you do, make sure you take a moment to appreciate them to the fullest – kindness is worth savoring.
When you guys run yard sales, do you show your customers random acts of kindness? If you shop these sales, have you been shown random acts of kindness? If so, leave a comment with your story below, I would love to read it.

That was my sister Melody and niece Nova up in Alaska that you are talking about. (I live in Albuquerque New Mexico USA). And they ALWAYS make everything more fun and a blast. Atmosphere around them is always a happy one. Glad you got to meet them and share your experience with them.
