so i have to apologize for not writing blogs lately. see, about almost 2 weeks ago i separated all the tendons in my ring finger on my left hand at the first knuckle and it makes typing kinda awkward. i'm not the most incredible typer and this is only making it more difficult. it's not that i haven't had alot of things that i've been thinking about, i just haven't typed my thoughts out. sorry....
there's a customer that i have at Dutch Bros that has been coming before i even started working there over 5 years ago and she is a great woman. she's a single mom with 2 kids and pretty much fends for herself and i really only get to see her when she rolls thru the Churn Creek shop in the morning. i work at all the shops and at different times so i don't see her all the time, but when i do, most of the time she makes the mornings so much fun and usually that's our job! i realized something the other day when i saw her though. i realized that she always, always has had a smile on her face when she pulls up to the window. this isn't what i realized...what i realized was that no matter what her life has been like (and she's told me some pretty hard stuff) she has smiled. we've talked about this and one of her reasons why is because she's gone through too much to not smile and be the way she is...
most of the time we hear it the other way. my life's too hard to smile! she is the opposite....life's too hard not to smile.
needless to say, i was encouraged!
