Your voice in the words of others

Our postal carrier, “+”, always has a positive attitude. He’s very helpful and usually shares a wise comment that makes you go, “Ahhh.” So, today when “+” came in this afternoon, I asked what his word for the day was. He thought for a while and told me all he was thankful for today. Then he stopped and said, “Appreciative is the word”.

While I greeted the workday with a headache, feeling tired, grumpy and wanting to be home, someone else was greeting the day with appreciation. Had I listened to my own inner voice and stayed away today, I would not have heard YOUR voice. I, too, am appreciative now.
