i was feeling slightly down today. another coffee date last night, another lukewarm reaction from the guy. i know it has more to do with what their expectation of me was going to be, but it doesn't mean it's not going to affect me in some way. work was a bit of a drag as i'm feeling slightly overwhelmed again. i was looking forward to coming home and vegging on the couch.
i stopped off at IGA because i ran out of bread this morning. the cashier went through the usual drill with me (hi, how are you, blah blah blah). when she gave me my receipt, i smiled and said thanks. as i went to reach for my bag that was sitting at the end of the counter, the cashier reached over to me and said, "thank you for giving me a nice smile!" i was surprised. it made me further aware that retail jobs are some of the most thankless and that a genuine smile can brighten up a person's day, even for just that one moment.
needless to say, her compliment paid itself forward. i'm feeling cheery again.
