Glimpses of the Holiday Spirit
Ever had a day just a little more tiring than most?
Well, that was my day today. Though there is something nice about being on the road early enough that traffic is sparse. You almost feel like the road is all yours.
So i've been listening to the holiday music on my commute to work. Slowly, I think I feel the season soaking in. The fact is almost anywhere I go, I hear Holiday music. But I don't think for me that it is the music, or even all the Christmas decorations that makes me think the holiday spirit is here. It's something different.
After work today, I got my hair cut. This stylist was a new one. She did give a good haircut but I was more impressed with how she treated her customers. I guess the best way to describe her is kind. I'm starting to notice kindness more often, and surely appreciate it.
The fact is, she was somewhat nice to me, but it was more how she treated this elderly woman while she was in the middle of cutting my hair. She without hesitation stopped what she was doing, and spoke to her in such a nice way, and then spent time on her hair. She even helped the woman call her ride.
It was just nice to see patience and kindness like this in action. I've had my haircut many times and have seen good customer service before, this was different, and just pretty cool to see.
I made it a point to let her know that she does a great job, and handled that one situation very well. The hair cut honestly is not the best i've ever had, but I think i'm going go back to her anyways.
At much surprise, as I left the building, right in passing, a child walked by and told me to have a great holiday, and continued to walk on.
All of this kindness revealed after a long day, got me thinking.
I would pinpoint for me, that the Christmas season has started.
I have a feeling that this will be a great Christmas.
