Drawing

Yes, I know, I promised something profound. But I just don't have anything right now. I'm drawing a blank...which if you think about it is a wierd statment. I might as well not I'm be drawing. But, all the same, I have nothing to write about, however you want to look at it. So, for lack of something better, I guess I'll tell you about a little thing that my friend and I did for another friend of ours. You see, my friend is going to school in Germany right now, and I think she is a little homesick, becuase she used to live here, and all of her family still lives here. Well, as it was Valentine's Day the other day, my friend and I thought it'd be nice to send my friend in Germany a flower. We had some dificulty with translations and address and stuff but we finally send her the flower. And guess what? She loved it. Actually I think that what she loved was that we sent it to her. I'll tell you another story. I sent a free e-card to my Grandma. It was nothing special, just a Happy V-day one, but I made her cry, "good tears" though, she said. I made her happy. The moral of the story in these cases is that even a little bit of love can make someone's whole day, maybe even their week, or month. Have you even though how much impact something as little as a greeting and a smile can do for someone? For example, at my work we have a sign that says "do not touch, cover may be hot" right next to our soups that we serve. Well, there was a man in today who not only lifted the cover to see the soup, but proceeded to drop the cover into the soup. Needless to say, that is why we have the sign. But anyway, after that he started to order his meal, but he stopped himself and said "first of all, hi, how are you doing today?" and he smiled. Now, I can tell you that I smiled natualy back, because in that minute, he was nice, and it made a difference, even if it was only to me. Maybe what happened was I brought that smile to the next person I saw, and they to the next they saw, and so on. Sometimes I lose faith in the human race. I'm sure you'd agree that it's not hard to do. Bad things are always happening to reinforce our ideas of diminishing society. I think that we have to do is be nicer to each other. It won't solve all the problems, but it would be a good start.
