Angie, Chocolate Muffins, and Coffee!

Can you recall a day when you were feeling down and somebody brightened your day with a kind gesture? You might have felt as if everything was going wrong and that one special person you encountered changed your gloomy moments into bright moments.

It's a lovely feeling to be thought of when you're feeling unimportant. It can be the smallest of things but that smallest of things can do wonders.

A big thank you to Angie who fills in as a manager
on Mondays, when our manager Andra is off. I woke
up Monday to one of those days where one thing after another
seemed to be going wrong. I was getting criticism from family
and friends, and nobody seemed to be on my side.

Then....I arrived to work and there was sweet Angie with a container
of just made chocolate muffins. "Help yourself to a chocolate muffin,"
she said as I was settling in to do my tasks. I took a bite of the decadent
chocolate muffin and couldn't wait to eat more. "Would you like a cup
of coffee with your muffin? asked Angie as she looked through a box of
K-cups.

"Yes, please," I replied. Three minutes later Angie handed me a cup of
coffee as I indulged in the chocolate muffin. I should have been working but
Angie treated me like I was a special guest instead of an employee and  it felt
W O N D E R F U L.

Unimportant folks like myself aren't use to getting much royal treatment at work but Angie certainly made me feel important on that Monday. I thanked Angie and let her know just how much she made my day.

It doesn't take much to be kind. Any small act of kindness is certainly appreciated.
Let's have gratitude for the simple things in life and be kind to others!
