Gosh GB, where did you find that? It had my eyes welling up with tears.
Ne'er a truer word hath been spoke. Thank you for sharing that. I hope not only to make MY dash worth while, but many of the people whom I'm close with.
If they'll let me.
It just seems that in such a busy life as this, we lose each other and sight of what really matters. Friendships. True, honest-to-goodness friendship. People make rash judgements and close themselves off to a kind heart, all because they sometimes feel threatened by it. "Why are they being so nice to me? What's in it for them? What do they want from me? I don't have anything to give them." It's sad that society has made us fear each other this way. Like people can't just be kind for the sake of kindness itself. The other day, I was in the drive-thru at Tim Hortons (best coffee in the world damn it!!!), and I told the girl when I got to the pay window that I wanted to pay for the person's order behind me as well as my own. I did not know this person and I did not know what they had ordered. I just wanted them to have a nice day. She looked at me like I had lost all my marbles! But she agreed. I hope that in some small way by doing that, I made that person smile, but part of me realizes they could have been wondering all day long, what the hell did that person in front of me want? Do they know me? Are they toying with me? That poor soul could have been looking over their shoulder all day long. I hope not though. I hope that it made the beginning of their day special in some small way. I just like doing little things like that for people. It may sound selfless, but really it fulfills a need in me. So it's kinda SELFISH in a way. Go figure.....
