Today

You know what’s nice? When someone appreciates your presence. Today before going to work, I stopped by the convinient store around the corner from my house to buy some water. You should be infromed that I haven’t stopped by there in a little while. When the owner saw me, her face lit up with joy and asked me where I’ve been all this time! I couldn’t help, but to laugh….It was a good and comforting laugh. She thought I had moved and that’s why I haven’t been to the store in a long time. But as I walked out of the door I remembered that I never got her name after all this time. I turned around and asked her what her name was and she asked for mine. The feeling of appreciation felt mutual. I thought it was awesome becasue you never know who you truly looks forward to seeing you or who actually admires your presence in a room. Share your smile with people and show them a sense of appreciation; it goes a long way.

Inspired by Mina; the store owner.
