Random things that make me feel good on my way into work
- letting pedestrians have the right of way
- making eye contact and sharing smiles with a total stranger
- aforementioned smile is most gratifying when shared with another woman, like we’ve bonded somehow
- slowing down in the MAPCO parking lot so the Loomis Fargo man can cross the lot with the loot
- not sitting in the MAPCO parking lot driveway while waiting for my turn to cross 21st, thus letting the woman who rides a tandem bike with her 6 yo son use the sidewalk instead of having to go around me
- not being the first one in the line to turn left from Acklen onto West End (when you’re the first, 1. you run the risk of being hit by the people turning left onto Acklen and 2. the pressure’s on you to make sure you’re over the weight to change the light (or so I believe)
A lot of simple things can start my day off right. That’s pretty cool.
