I work at the Starbucks downtown, and I just want to say thank you to all of you who impact my life on a daily basis. You aren't just customers to me, I'm so blessed to be able to wake up everyday and enjoy going into work because of those little moments I get to share with so many of you. I'm going through a lot of personal stuff in my life right now, and many of you not only helped lift my spirits but reminded me of the many reasons to hang in there. From the little jokes you all make, to the genuine smiles and "how are you's". I cannot express how grateful I am to be able to hear your stories and to know you're listening to mine. Those brief moments when you come in for your "Venti Latte", or "Tall Pike" aren't just transactions... They're moments of restored faith in the kindness and compassion that so many of you have. So thank you, for not only being a small but incredibly significant impact in my life, but for reminding me how far little acts of kindness can go and allowing me the opportunity to watch you all grow.
