Journey 2 Zendipity

Yesterday was a really busy day for me, but one little tiny thing happened that made my WHOLE day.

I am, usually, the stranger that says hi and smiles. I wave to the cross walkers, I say hello to anyone walking by me, I wish a good day to anyone in my building as they pass by. It’s something I do whole heartedly and yea sometimes bitch and moan when they are rude but most of the time, it just fills my heart. As you’ve read in prior posts, I believe everyone deserves an acknowledgement of life, a simple “hey, we see you!”.

It fills my heart and soul.

Anyways, with that said, I’m with the hellos and even starting random conversations, I am also usually the one to say “hope you have a great day/night/week/holiday” etc. I don’t ever mind it, I don’t always even notice I’m doing it.

In fact, my son is the one that brought it to my attention. It was a beautiful acknowledgement from him.

Sorry, back to the story, so last night I decided to try something new and check out this group. I walked in, I got to a table to sign in, a lady comes up to do the same. I say “Hi, how are you?” smiling and trying to get out of my own discomfort, and she shockingly actually responded cheerfully a hi back, that she’s well and thank you! (HOW AWESOME!) I was so in my head, I found it so cool she replied though.

I go to leave and she says “Have a great night!”

I turned around so damn fast, “THANK YOU! Likewise” with a big smile and she was like “aww thanks!”.

Dude.. her “Have a good day” after there were no more words exchanged beyond the initial yellow was a huge piece of my week.

I know, I know.. it seems so dumb but it was so damn cool!

This morning I woke up and still thought about that. I closed my eyes and sent the lady some love.

At some point, I realized that it meant so much because it really is just so rare! I mean, maybe just in my life but it really is so rare. Got me trying to remember when was the last time that someone thought of me enough to wish me a good day/night/week for no reason. No additional conversation needed. No hidden agenda. No intentions. No reason. Just a simple, have a good night.

I wish we all got to better understand just how much we impact others. People we love, strangers, kids, elders.. everyone and when we take a moment to just be kind.. it could mean a night and morning of joy for a complete stranger. Like the gift of kindness this stranger gave me yesterday.

❤

Sending you all so much love today!

Remember that you matter and what you do matters too.
