Together It's Possible.

I've been wanting to blog for days about people I've come encounter with, but I couldn't remember my point to my story lol.

   I had the costumer from hell last Tuesday. Literally ruined my whole shift. He was upset over little things. Little things that were fixable. He was miserable and he was pulling me down with him for those whole 45 minutes that he was sitting in my section. As angry and annoyed as I was with this man, I kept trying to convince myself that he really was a human being underneath the jerk attire. I get that all of our lives are different. Some of us are more less-fortunate than others, but life really isn't that bad. Look around you, it's beautiful. The phone sitting next to me stating that I have a text message from my best friend...beautiful. Our friendship isn't nearly as strong as it once was, but the fact that he can still text me.. beautiful. The paintbrushes waiting to touch the canvas, beautiful. Am I the only one who sees this? Is my mind that different? Maybe all this man needed was to find passion and comfort in something. Maybe his busy life held together by his smart-phone needed love, passion, and comfort.
   The day after, I went to JCPennys before work in the morning to purchase a new pair of work pants and I left my phone is the fitting room. It didnt hit me that I left it there until later that day during my break. Immediately I called the store to see if someone had turned it in, and someone did. It's the little things in life like this that people can do to give you hope. Her name was Sonia, she was sweet. I tipped her for proving to me that there is hope for this world. Money might not have been much, but I didn't think my smile was big enough to show her how grateful I was. It's not about the phone, it's about a good heart. It's about meeting one more person who can help bring this world together again.
   It's beautiful that Sonia's random act of kindness erased the negative feelings I had for that man. It's crazy that Sonia's name stuck to me because she made a positive impact of my day, but that I didnt even care to know this mans name. I usually look at the credit cards and thank my guest by name. I didn't even think about looking at his name...
   I'll let this story make it's own point I guess. Might just be a waste of time for you to have read this, or maybe you'll want to make someones day soon. Feel free to bring me some chocolate covered gummy bears to the olive garden. You'll definitely make my day (:
  I have so much more to blog about, but I'll do it tomorrow. I can't focus anymore.
