Hearing that song on the radio

You know when there's been a song stuck in your head for the longest time, the best way to get it out is to listen to it over and over and over again.. Haha at least that's what I think! Last night when we were driving home, Adele's Set Fire to the Rain came on the radio. Of course, we belted it out and then... it ended. :( I was kind of disappointed because I was JUST GETTING INTO IT when the commercials came on.. So we switched to another radio station... AND SET FIRE TO THE RAIN was playing again. Muahahaha! Goodtimes/ Best coincidences.  :D

Good Karma

Yesterday I was working a really slow evening at White Spot when I had a family come in. They were friendly and extremely polite, especially the 2 little girls. They did seem a little bit somber or perhaps just plain exhausted though.
Halfway through their meal, the girls had some leftover food, so I asked if I could pack it up for them to take home. Their mother's response was, "Well, we don't really have a home right now. We just went through a tragedy of sorts." I was really concerned, and the she explained that their house had just burnt down.

I had actually heard about this not too long ago since they lived very close to my own house. You can read the article here. As I was packing up their food, my manager, Tony was doing some work nearby. I mentioned to him their story and he immediately said that he would take care of their bill. He went over to talk to the family and offer his condolences and support.
It is these instances that remind me to appreciate everything that is given to us in life and to keep in mind that despite our own trials, we can always find a way to give back with kindness.

Great Quotes

 

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for: We are the change that we seek.
