Somtimes people are nice

Its sad really, to be pleasantly surprised when someone is nice. There are so many rude, unhappy people in this world. I do not believe people are taught to be polite and courteous anymore. Is this a forgotten art? Does politeness not matter anymore? Are we raising a world full of rude people?

You probably want to know how I arrived at this, well....

Yesterday I took my car to get an oil change, a much over due, oil change. I pulled up to the Quicky Oil Change place and stated my purpose to the very polite, funny guy that came to my window. He says, politely, "How may I help yo today, maam?" (dont call me maam) "I just need an oil change" he says, "well your in the right place! Pull up to bay 2 and I will be right with you"

So I did, I watched them work on 2 other cars, it was taking a little while, but I wanst in a hurry and it was a pretty day and I was playing a game on my pod, all was well. The manager comes over, taps on the window and says; "Im sorry its taking so long, we'll be right with you." I said OK and waited. A few minutes more and I had my car in the oil change bay. The guy changing my oil was nice and friendly, talked to me, but not to much. Cleaned my window and all the stuff that goes with the oil change. They had a playful banter going on between, what I had now learned, was the new guy and the others. Things were slow, but it was ok because everyone was POLITE and COURTEOUS and NICE. They were happy and working hard and did a great job, even noticed a potential problem on my tire.

So the Quicky place may not have been quick, but I'll go back and recommend them because they were, as said above, POLITE, NICE, and COURTEOUS. It was a breath of fresh air, and I found it at the oil change place!

flowers

I love flowers, growing them, smelling them, getting them. My sweet husband brings me flowers, for no reason - all the time. Not because he's in trouble, or we fought, not because its Valentines day or my birthday. Not because I have had a bad day (although he has for that reason), maybe because HE had a bad day. But for no reason at all!

He brought me flowers today, big beautiful daisy's. I love daisy's they are my very favorite flower. Yellow ones and white ones. They are happy flowers, they practically smile at you! I think I like them because they are related to dandelions, another happy flower, a weed yes but a happy weed!

My hubby doesn't need a scheduled calendar day, like Valentines Day, to be forcefully reminded to buy me flowers, I wouldn't want them if that was the case, yes I know I am lucky. He knows they make me smile. So he gets me smiling flowers!
