One Person...

Sometimes we don't realize how much one person can really make a difference in another persons life. Today was a good day for me I got up, got dressed, and went and ran some errands. My last stop happened to be the place where Jesse got my wedding ring. My ring has never been cleaned since we've been married and I also needed to get it re-dipped. When I walked in there was a man that came to greet me. He helped me and was very nice from the moment I came in. By the time I was done giving him my information and getting the receipt so I could come pick my ring up next week we started talking and he said something that I will never forget. He told me that when customers come in he can tell what kind of person they are by their countenance and that my husband is lucky to have me as a wife. I'm not telling you this because I think I am an amazing person or wife, nor am I telling this to brag, but I'm telling you this because its proof that there really are good people in this world. Sometimes I think there is so much rudeness and cruelness in the world, and than I meet someone like this man and I am reminded that there is just as much good. I know it was something small that he did for me, and maybe I'm making a big deal out of it, but it made my day, made me smile, and it made me feel important. All of us try our best and usually feel good about it but it's so nice to actually hear that you are doing alright from someone else.

  1. It's so nice to get compliments like this from people you don't know. In fact, I think it's even more meaningful when a stranger says something like this. You are a lovely woman, Kara, and I think you're awesome. :) Love you cuzin! -ash

  2. I loved this post!! I really believe that one person can affect you in many ways. Whether you are close to them or you just met them. I wish more people would show kindness because everyone has difficult days and when that one person says something kind it can make your day and even your week. I hope you know that you have influenced my life Kara! I love ya!!

  4. This man pretty much nailed it. You are an amazing woman and a great example to all of us. Jesse did get a great wife and no one else could help him through what he is going through now, the way you can. Love you!
