Tonight my family celebrated a birthday at Red Lobster. I do not know this young lady's name but she took time from her job to pull a lobster out of the tank for my son and daughter to hold. She showed them how he could hold a straw in his little pinchers and did not rush my little boy who almost fell over he was so excited. Racing around to tell everyone he was touching the "lomster", he was over the moon.
There are certain people we encounter who don't let moments pass by. They seek out opportunities to bring a smile and they are present enough to see a little boy looking intently at the crustaceans with wonder.
Thank you dear server for taking your time to serve my son in such a unique and thoughtful way. He is a nature freak and watches documentaries on his free time. You provided him with an amazing experience that I as a mother was touched to watch. You went above and beyond and I thank you :)
So tonight, 10 days into my gratitude challenge I am grateful for the strangers who take time to truly see those around them and for the humans who are not so caught up in their own heads that they miss the chance to reach out and connect. #30daysofgratitude
