MISSION: A Shot of Luck

I know St. Patty’s Day has come and gone, but its kindness has been sitting in my inbox and deserves to see the light of day again. Affiliated Agent T showed some serious generosity in her act of kindness in Wheeling, West Virginia.  Bravo, AAT!

On Saturday, my husband and I were traveling to West Virginia to meet up with a group of my high school friends for dinner. I only get to see them about twice a year, so I was really excited. I thought, what a better way to share my joy than to do a mission? Since it was also the same day as many St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, I decided to give the mission a St. Patty’s theme.

First I made a card. I found a cute website where you could made printable cards for free. So I typed up a card, short and sweet. The theme of the card was everyone needs a little luck, so I was helping make the person who found it a little luckier today.

Then I attached a $10 dollar bill, and a Secret Agent L card.

Next, I decorated and envelope, and made sure who ever found it knew it was meant for him or her.

Off we went to WV, and I enjoyed a wonderful evening with friends. We laughed for 2 hours straight. After dinner, we were getting ready for our long ride home, but not before I finished my mission.

We stopped at a Sheetz gas station, and I slipped inside to make the drop. The place was packed, since it was a Saturday night, so I had to be sneaky, but make sure I left the envelope in a place it would be noticed. I settled for the coffee bar, right by the teabags and coffee creamers. It was hard to take a picture, without looking suspicious, so the picture of the drop is a little fuzzy.

In times like this, a shot of luck can make all the difference. I hope it did for the recipient!
