I went to the local convenience shop to buy some milk. Cashier and mate were busy talking (both ladies – not that that matters. Cashier was behind counter, Mate was stood to one side, not in public area but obviously not serving.

Cashier was reading a text out to mate – obviously I had to wait until she finished.

I only wanted a bottle of milk and I gave cashier a #5 note. She only gave me a few pence change and carried on talking to mate.

I said, “is that right, I gave you a fiver?”

“oh sorry she says, I wasn’t thinking”

and then mate says,

“she has just took her christmas bonus early”

priceless…

In a piece of interesting serendipity, I found your blog yesterday through my Google Reader recommendations and subscribed having read a few posts, only to be notified of this comment in my email today. These sorts of coincidences really make me smile for some reason!

Do a task with one or more others that uses everyone’s best talents & temperament.

Then you (all) become happier and higher-performing.
Since our brains work in a way that we spiral down faster (and longer) into upset than up into happiness we might be all the more motivated to take this approach.

Also, look to others’ positive intent, especially when they appear to have none.

…and do not let someone else determine your behavior

P.S.
In a civilization when love is
gone we turn to justice and when
justice is gone we turn to power
and when power is gone we
turn to violence.

Opportunity is often inconvenient.

Remember the many
compartments of the heart,
the seed of what is
possible. So much of who
we are is defined by
the places we hold for each
other. For it is not our ingenuity
that sets us apart, but our
capacity for love, the
possibility our way will
be lit by grace. Our hearts
prisms, chiseling out the
colors of pure light.
