Spoonful of Sugar

As I'm standing in line at the pharmacy a nice lady walks over and tells me how much she likes the color of my shirt, "That's a wonderful color and it looks so great on you!" I say thank you so much, that's so kind and when I look her in the eyes and smile she goes on "Oh my, aren't you just so beautiful? How nice. Good job being so beautiful." I clasp my hands over my chest, and tell her I don't know what to say. That's too kind.

Standing in line at the pharmacy, crying. Small kindnesses. They matter.
