unexpected situations :)


I think im going to try ad get back into the swing of doing these again as they prove to be a good place to store my silly thoughts :).

So recently ive been working my little socks of trying to earn extra money for my holiday stuff!
I'm soooooo excited i go away to the carribbean in like a month or so and its funny i cant even begin to imagine what its gonna be like!
however different issues i have is that i realised whislt at work one evening just how selfish i can be, it was getting late and i was clearly very tired and irritated with a lady i worked with, therefore i wasnt as polite as i normaly am in work nor was i particularly sensitive towards the way anyone was feeling.
And then this lovely old man came to my till, he got on with his packing pretty silently and then we began to talk about my hours of the day and he was so sympathetic towards me, he then told me that his wife had been in hospital having her cancer removed! he said all his shopping was for his wife and he had been there everyday and night ever since she had gone in.
Now it might just be me but when i see old people sitting on benches or walking around holding hands i cant help but feel a tiny bit better about things, its asif i see them as a promise that things will be okay, that when im having a bad day that things will only get better. anyways this man left and i dont think he will ever realise how much of an impact he had made on me that day but after that i had tried to be more positive about going to work and having to be polite and put on a front to everyone because it could be that one smile you give someone or helping them get something off a shelf if they couldnt reach that means more than that to them :).
