life is good

but that’s not why I’m here. I’m here because I read an article about how thinking about a positive part of each day not just makes you balanced and happy, etc, but also benefits your health in concrete measurable ways.
so I just wanted to say that yesterday, I went to see a professor read. This professor is amazing and so talented and the place was packed. I stood at the back and said ‘no thank you’ when people offered seats in the front because I wanted to be able to sneak out if I needed to and because a ton of other people were standing.

Right before it began a guy from one of my classes brought a chair to the back of the room by the shelf that I was half behind, put it behind me, tapped my shoulder and pointed to the chair and smiled. It was amazing. Idk if this is just the southern way that I’m still not used to, but it was nice and friendly and so small but it made my day. well, a good 12 minutes of my day. and I sat. thank you friendly guy from class.

Today I stopped by wholefoods because I had to get gas and was right next to it and I wanted sparkling water. The sparkling water selection at wholefoods is kind of intense and I decided to look at the different kinds. I had spent 10 minutes in the sparkling water section staring when this guy came up and asked what difficult decision I was making. I told him how sparkling water costs a pretty penny and I didn’t want to mess up and choose the wrong one. We talked flavors and brands etc for a minute and then he grabbed one out of a pack and put a ‘paid’ sticker on it and told me to come back and tell him what I thought. He was the manager.

Anyway, these aren’t amazing stories just little things that could restore bit by bit someone’s faith in humanity. should  it need restoring.
