"So I had a bad day"
"Everybody has those days" (Hanna Montana song)
The other day, I stood in line at the grocery store. I noticed that the clerk never smiled at the customers and ignored light conversation. I was bother with her attitude, I am intolerant when it come to people that work with the public and they are rude.
I was tempted to tell her what I thought of her sour face, her bad attitude and her rude manners, when an elderly woman in front of me took a different approach.
She said, ‘Honey, you look like you’re having a bad day.’ The clerk looked up with the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen in my life and said, ‘My husband lost his job yesterday and I just found out I am pregnant.’ The lady patted her hand and said, ‘Dear, things will work out.’ When it was my turn, the clerk had tears in her eyes, but she smiled, and I felt ashamed of myself for being so intolerant.
That instant made me realize that people usually aren’t rude because they’re mean and want to make my life miserable. They are unpleasant because they have problems on their mind and a heavy heart. I am learning to be more sensitive to the needs of others around me. no body knows whats in other person hearts or what ill then.
I am learning to be better and so should you, "so if I had a bad day" or " if you have a bad day" Everyone has those days, never judge a book for its cover. One word could make a difference. My grandma used to said and I am sure you hear this before "You catch more flies with honey than with vinaigrette".
