After grumbling about the same crap and hiding under the blanket for much of the morning, I decided to try and cheer myself up with my favorite, MCD's iced coffee. As I pulled up to the drive through...I turned to the passenger seat and crumbled a bit. Can I take your order? Excuse miss...are you there? I could hear her talking in the background but all I could think about was how it was just me...ordering one drink, no spicy chicken sandwich, no chicken nuggets....
It took me a couple seconds to muster up the courage and speak into the intercom. I'll have a medium vanilla...actually a hazelnut iced coffee. The hazelnut isn't as good as vanilla...but it's better than choking up every time I try to order coffee.
By the time I pulled up to the last window, I was even more bummed out, beating myself up over things I did wrong. When the lady handed me my coffee, it was automatic that my manners kicked in. I turned to her, smiled and said my thank you's. Right then, the strangest thing happened, the window that was halfway closing, yanks open. She gave me this huge grin and said to me, "I hope you have a wonderful day."
As silly and unimportant as that sounded...it changed my day. I couldn't help but smile for the rest of the day. I stopped thinking about the bad stuff going on in my life and just kept smiling.
Something as everyday as have a wonderful day made all the difference. It gave me hope for a better tomorrow.
peace, love, and spreading happiness.
