These are only some of the texts I received this morning. It’s the little things that mean the most to me. I still don’t know how I got so lucky to meet someone so amazing. I can go on about this for hours and write about it endlessly, but I’ll save it…..for now. I am just so amazed that another individual is able to bring that amount of joy to my life.

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.
