go ahead, make my day

today started out kind of average. i got up, went to work, logged in. then, on the way to purchase my morning latte*, serendipity took over. when the elevator door opened, i was a little surprised - but pleased - to see all familiar faces. five former coworkers let out a happy, cohesive "aaah/ohhh" greeting in that wonderful, harmonious pitch that only women can achieve.

well, mark today as banner day.

in my pre-nourished condition, i probably did not properly convey my appreciation**, but it still set the tone for my day. it's nice to be loved.

:)

so.

just as an experiment, do a little something that may be the banner day tipping point for someone else. maybe smile at the homeless guy or hold the door open for a stranger or plug a quarter into someone's meter. or go crazy and leave your business card under your sweetie's windshield wiper with the words "i love you" written on it.

whether they can tell you or not, they'll appreciate it.


*aka milk in a palatable disguise
**i'm pretty sure i managed to blink to indicate i wasn't comatose
