That's ...Aww, thank you for sharing it on FB! <br /><br />That's so tough about that lady! Trust me, I have several times when I did NOT respond to the nudge of grace and kick myself for it!!

I worked for 5 years in a small health food store, where I recognized most of the customers. It was special how some would be deliberately kind to me, and how I felt when I was deliberately kind to them. The one interaction that has always haunted me is when I regular customer, who clearly had serious health and financial problems, didn't have enough cash to pay for all her meager (like, 5 items) groceries. Why didn't I just step up and pay for it? Or honestly my great boss wouldn't have minded if I waived the extra. I feel like I was so stuck in routine that I couldn't get beyond that to solve the problem. It's bothered me ever since. ---MariaEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1345474462993746539.post-52724201332951998622018-01-15T02:54:32.451-05:002018-01-15T02:54:32.451-05:00A beautiful perspective!

It's so easy to let the annoyances get to you, but making an effort to seize those moments of connection is a game changer. Slowing down and appreciating the effort people make means a lot - I remember how hard being a cashier can be!Laura https://www.blogger.com/profile/17306677582500633622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1345474462993746539.post-62989495509500657412018-01-13T21:24:02.205-05:002018-01-13T21:24:02.205-05:00What a beautiful story!
