So I'm at the car wash, and there's a bit of a line. It's thhe kind of car wash that is privately owned in the little lot off the side of the road. "Sonic Wash", it's called. Anyway, there is a line of cars waiting to get washed, and there is a woman walking around managing the "traffic", but also offering cookies. I saw her walking around to different cars, speaking with them for a bit and then moving on. At first, I just assumed she knew everyone in front of me. She then got to my car, which made me lower my window to have her speak to me and she offered the cookie. She was a kind woman, a smile the entire time, and even when I politely declined, she was still happy that I came by. The older couple next to me was offered assistance for using the machine before they even got there.
I'm sure maybe some people think that's just good customer service.
Human kindness goes a long way, though. She made her day by keeping that positive attitude going, and in turn also changed the moods of everyone she interacted with today. I've been following a new hobby (kind of) of reading quotes. Inspirational, first. Also, some of the Dalai Lama's words. I found a lot that I lie, and a lot to do with human compassion and kindness, and how it can be so beneficial to the human race.
