There’s nothing like working in the service industry to give one a lesson on how to treat others! 
Over the weekend we had another family group taking over a couple rooms of the motel. Bunch of kids/adults.. nice enough, but that kind of attitude.
You know… that kind of attitude that makes you feel like the “help”. An obliviousness to the fact that there are other people on the planet besides them. The kind of attitude which is of ownership to all the space around them…. you know the type?
Their kids were jumping all over the beds, dumping bikes all over the sidewalk… running back into the rooms they had vacated, while my deb deb scrambled to clean for new arrivals…
Contrasting to that, a lovely older couple, who stayed in the room beside the group (god only knows how they survived). The fellow came into the office so very sweetly to check out. He was totally apologetic…. they had been munching chips over the weekend, and they felt badly for leaving us some messy crumbs.
…just makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

It struck me, as I read this entry, that kindness and gratefulness, although different, regenerate each other. Selfishness, on the other hand, results in frustration and unhappiness all around. A woman in Montreal makes a pin that says: “kindness is an act of rebellion”. I like that.
