I went to Kmart after work. It was 645pm and dark outside as I finished off buying stuff for the house. As I approached the man check-marking the receipts as we exit, I gave him a big smile. He smiled back and exclaimed, "You're the first person to smile!" I left feeling so lighthearted that I made one person feel good with just a smile. And his words also reinforced to me that just because I smile to people and they don't smile back - that there Are some people who do appreciate it.

I am happy today that my daughter is taking a day off from her baby watch at the hospital to come to my house and help me decorate a tree and bake cookies. She needs a break from the stress, and since recently being diagnosed with Epstein Barr virus, I am so tired, and appreciate the help. What a joy to have her near at Christmas. Also, please pray for the little HLHS baby that she is trying to adopt. Have a wonderful weekend all you hardworking caregivers.

We work on the 3rd floor and needed a box of photo copy papers to be delivered. So, I called the office supply and made my request. In all these years, we always had them do delivery. I figured that this time, I will give him a tip. So, the box cost $43.00. I put aside from petty cash - $4.00. When the man came in with the delivery, I gave him the check (COD) and the tip. He looked at the cash and asked me what it was for. Thinking I was being a cheapskate by giving Only 10% tip, I said, "tip???" He stared at it and then at me. Then, he gave me this big smile and said, "I never got a tip before!!" And I said, "Whew! A minute there I thought you were going to refuse it!" Before he left, he gave us all a very cheerful goodbye. Wow, he never got a tip....

Went to visit mom yesterday, rode my bike and brought her up a blackcherry trifle, kit kats, and ferreo rochers, sp?? on all that. She was thrilled to see me and was quite upset that someone had taken her hat off her head, the one her mother gave her. She said to me, mom told me to mind my hat. The nurse came in while we having tea and watching Kojak, which she was enjoying and gave her a huge black fur hat, saying look Margaret we found your hat, she was so happy she cried. She made me laugh because she looked like a mad Russian Cossak with this huge hat on and looked like she was going to do that kneel kick dance that the Russians do, funny and she herself then proceeded to bend and kick mock dancing, sometimes I just don't know if my head is on right.
