I WAS THINKING…
about how much it upsets me when people aren’t nice to me. Perhaps it’s a salesclerk, another driver or just anyone. Then the other day after I left Office Depot, I was thinking how nice the young man was who helped me find something. Then at Costco the salesclerk in the photo department was so kind to help me print pictures. I realized how often I dwell on negative interactions while kind actions are overlooked. I decided to make an effort to be tuned-in to the positive and kind actions of others. I was amazed how often I neglected noticing how most people are kind and nice to me. Yet, I certainly never missed the times someone was rude or not nice. Perhaps, I shouldn’t judge the people who aren’t nice because I don’t know what’s going on in their life. It’s their problem, not mine. But I can whisper a prayer for them.
