A Parallel Universe

There are a lot of things that can happen in one day that, thank God, don't. I was working the drive through a couple days ago and one of my favorite regulars came through the window and his eyes were bloodshot and he didn't have that usual cheer about him. Since he was elderly I had assumed that the cold had gotten to his joints and were making things more difficult for him. Well it wasn't. His wife is a diabetic and she went into a Diabetic Shock at 3 a.m., convulsing and seizuring right next to him. Could you imagine that? My heart gets broken when I hear someone cough in wal-mart or outside and no one offers them a cough drop. And they're strangers. When my boyfriend was sick I canceled all of my crap and went over and took care of him even though he lysocled me to death. ^^; I just thought that was the saddest thing. When people are in their prime and so young we don't think about those things. We think of other selfish things. But I urge everyone and anyone to stop at least one a day, or once a week, or whenever you feel you can go that extra little step to help someone outside your own bubble, whether it be your clique, certain races, religions, people and cultural difficulties and variances. Say hello to someone in the elevator, or hold the door open for someone, small stuff that will really go the extra mile. I know on my journey to be nice and courteous to others even when I thought no one was looking it helps me appreciate the same kindness I get every day. EVERY Day!
