Mr. Wave =D The beauty of a Smile

JoeWaking up each morning is such a gift for all of us. Despite the fact of  it being a rainy, cloudy or snowy day, we have the choice to bring a dose of happiness out there and what better way to do it than with a incomparable SMILE.

I have the pleasure of watching constantly the gentleman in the picture, he delivers a friendly smile and waves to every single person he gets the chance to see.

You cannot miss this, I bet you will end up smiling and waving back to him.

He is a perfect example and has an impressive attitude. He has the same positive attitude during any type of weather conditions and best of all towards complete strangers.

I don’t know his personal story, but I’m sure I would enjoy to know it. We all come from different pasts and experiences but your are today what you choose to be.

One day driving by this gentleman’s usual spot. I was stopped by the set of lights, I got the chance to witness a special event.

This lady came from behind, he right away said hi and turned around proceeding to help her cross the street. She immediately tapped his shoulder and handed him something that from a distance seemed like a sandwich.

He did a double take, he was happily shocked and expressed back to her a look that would say  “For me, no way!” He threw his head back and said thank you to her.

This was completely priceless, he did not know what to do, either to continue and help her cross the street or to go place his new snack in his car.
It seemed like this lady didn’t speak the same language but her good intentions didn’t require a lot of understanding.

Have you witness something similar, maybe this happened to you or better yet would you like to surprise someone you think deserves a little recognition for their attitude and character tours the world or their environment ?

( I got finally the honor to meet this gentlemen, his name is Joe. He loves his job as a crossing guard in Reading, MA. Joe is a retired police officer. =D)

Kindness

 

SignI have the virtue of witnessing how wonderful and powerful a little sign can be that simply asks people “Not to block the walkway”.

The owner of this sign and home is a sweet little lady in her mid 80’s. I have seen her only twice working outside her yard and waves to us when we would drive down her street.

According to her neighbor across the street ( the person we pick up ) said that she’s is really active, does work in her yard when she’s outside but most importantly is a sweet, polite, and well educated person.

Do you like her sign?

Quick stop @ the Coffee Shop

imageOne of the coldest days ever (it was recorded as such) I entered a coffee shop to purchase a hot chocolate and munchkins for Mr. Fireman.
 
My place had a couple of sprinkler  pipes frozen and the fire department assigned a fireman to stand by outside all night just in case something went wrong. 
 
Standing in line waiting for my turn to order, a lady on my right side entered the store and smiled at me, I smiled back at her and noticed that she did not realize I was next in line.
 
There were only two workers at the place so they were running around trying to finish everything as quickly as possible, one of the workers after a few minutes said: “Next please!”
 
The lady on my right went up to the register and started ordering. The employee realized what happened since she saw me waiting first in line. The store inside was a little confusing so I understood of why this could have happened and therefore, decided to keep my mouth shut since I also did not care. While all this happened, I noticed that a guy behind me was looking down into his phone and did not know what was going on. 
 
The lady right away turned around and apologized: “I’m sorry I thought that was the pick up line after you order.”
 
I replied : “No worries Ma’am I don’t care.”
 
After this, the guy behind me walked right beside me, she asked again: “You don’t mind?”
 
I said again: “My pleasure please go ahead and order.”
 
She looked at the guy behind me and asked him: “You don’t mind?”
 
He said: “I do” and started walking around me. 
 
I said to him: “Just wait right there! For being patient and not saying anything you earn a free coffee on me.” 
 
He looked at me surprised and said: “I’m in for that!” 
 
The lady felt bad and said ” I’m sorry” and start walking back towards the line.  
 
I said once again please don’t worry and she did not listen any more. She probably felt really bad. I would of felt the same way in her shoes.  
 
I walked up to the register and I asked the guy behind me to come.
 
He said to me: ” You don’t have to do this.” 
 
I said: ” I offered you a coffee so I am going to keep my word, please allow me.”
 
He order his coffee and said:  ”thank you” and he placed the money for his coffee in the tip mug.
 
(See how this Domino effect works! )
 
I replied after: “My pleasure, happy holidays!”
 
As I waited for the hot chocolate and munchkins, the guy stood by me the whole time and waited until I finally left to tell me: “Thank you once again!”
 
I decided to let her go first and also recognized the patience of this guy when I asked him to wait. He didn’t really mind until she ask him directly, but I still wanted to show him that being courteous and patient can benefit you sometimes.  
 
We all complain when someone cuts you off in traffic, but in the long run you really  don’t know that being delayed could have saved you from getting hit by a reckless driver. 
 

We can view every situation in a different way, it all depends if you want to be indifferent about it or make a difference, which side do you choose?

Kids for Ever!

photo (1)

Being a kid is one of the most special stages in the human evolution, every single thing its unique, real simply and great.

Enjoy every  second of this incredible experience but the most important part, never never let it die as you grow older, experiences and situations in life might be ruff or difficult, but remember that magical innocence keeps you on a different loop and track at all times and will always lead you to a better point of view in every situation.

Forget about what people says or they might do, seek always well for you and others, keep your steps clear and simple just like when you ware a kid. Never generalize and give people the opportunity to show you how great they could be.

Don’t let money, success and society erase the quality of life in you, please have in mind that not everything is like the movies. actresses and tv shows are.

Life could be hurtful at times and if your innocence was stolen please don’t give up, is a lot of people like me who wants to see you bloom, because we all have the right to be happy, all you have to do is give yourself the chance and try.

Love life and Live it!
