Often…On my way into work in the mornings…I cruise through McDonalds…to grab a sausage biscuit…that’s all I order…lots of mornings…when I pull up to the window to get my order the sweetest lady is there…she is small…really dark skin shows off her big smile... and with tiny but capable hands… she reaches out through the window…hands me my bag…and says…I put one butter in there…I say thank you…even though I stopped asking for the butter a couple of months ago… she does not forget…and then she says…have a blessed day.
I did not see her for a few days and when I saw her again I ask… where have you been…she said oh sometimes I have to do other things…I said... Well... I guess that’s okay but when your not here...I don’t have anyone to bless my day…she was so taken back…her eyes uncertain...like she had abandon me or something...and then she smiled and said in a big voice… ahhh honey… you have a blessed day. Honestly…some mornings… I am not even hungry… I just go there to get my day blessed…it only cost me $1.08.
He is older…huge shoulders…he has a set of guns as they say…he looks up and smiles and says good morning…there’s light in his eyes…I suppose at one time he ruled the gym…benched pressed hundreds of pounds…the envy of many…now at four in the morning he’s mopping the floor …taking out the trash…. at the gym… he moves pretty slow…but there is something alive about him…he makes a point to look directly at me…ask me how I’m doing when I arrive and when I leave an hour later he is smiling…nodding his head...like I really accomplished something…he says...you have a good day…everytime...I don’t even know his name but everyday I feel like someone cares about how I feel.
I have a young lady at work that greets me everyday by saying Good morning Mr. Rick…its warm and full of love and life and makes me feel…important…there is another young lady that smiles so big and she can’t help but give a wink…she makes me smile…it’s a cool wink…like… you are so okay with me…another calls me every morning in my office… and… on speaker phone I hear Hey!!!!! And then a little laugh…she makes me laugh…works every time…then there is a guy that says… every morning…How’s my old buddy Rick…we have known each other almost a year…all through the morning I get friendly nods…handshakes… and high fives… my days start great...with fun, interesting, and beautiful people.
I don’t know... but I think my $1.08 is paying off…
