I like when people are nice…

so, this morning, D and I went to get our oil changed, and the service guy was swamped, and we could just tell he was dreading telling us, “um, it could be up to a couple of hours before we’re done with you guys.”

But, we didn’t care, we know the possible drawbacks of saturday am oil changes. He seemed truly surprised that we weren’t jerks. He in turn was super nice, and friendly. Made me happy.

Then, at the bank, we were the only people in line. It would have only been a 2 minute wait or so, but the manager came over and opened her till to wait on us. She didn’t need to, and we weren’t being impatient, but she wasn’t doing anything, so she just came and took care of it. It was very nice.

When I got home, I checked the mail, and my new Garmin footpod was here! Last week, when I called and told them that the unit I got with my forerunner 50 was dead on arrival, they just sent a new one. No questions asked, just, “sure, we’re sorry about that… here you go.

I’ve had much more traffic on my blog in recent weeks, which as any blogger understands, is a wonderful feeling. Comments, pageviews, and subscriptions make you feel affirmed somehow, and supported. I’ve loved getting comments and feedback, and I hope some of my new readers will continue to make themselves known and not be shy.

These ladies, and a ton more are INSPIRING!!! So, I’ll keep replying to the game chain in hopes of being selected soon.

Have a great day, and find an opportunity to be nice today!
