TURNING THE WORLD AROUND

I like it when I go to Sonic Drive Thru, and the girl taking my order sounds like she is new, and she stumbles over the order a little bit (unsweet raspberry ice tea, easy ice) and when she comes out the door I can see that she is worried, tentative, maybe her last customer was mean, but she comes out the door, she's frowning and uptight, she looks up and sees me, and I give her my biggest best smile. I can see the worry melt off her face, her shoulders relax and now she is smiling too, she gets to the car and I give her my best hello and thank you, now she's half laughing happy and relieved and says your welcome and confidently skips back to the door, what a great day at work she must be thinking. Its not much, but its good to know you can have that kind of power -- to turn the world around, upside down even-- if you just pay attention to someone besides yourself.
