For somebody who said they don\u2019t travel as much as they used to, I flew two weekends in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, what a different experience<\/strong> this past weekend!<\/span><\/p>\n

It all started at the Atlanta airport\u2026 in the lady\u2019s room, of all places!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The attendant who was cleaning the bathroom greeted every single person<\/strong> who entered with a good morning and then directed us to which stall she wanted us to use. She even offered to watch our bags if we wanted to leave them outside the stall. And we each got a blessing<\/strong> as we left.<\/span><\/p>\n

And she recognized me on my second visit before I boarded my plane. <\/span>
\n(Don\u2019t judge me\u2026 I had a lot of water that morning)<\/span><\/p>\n

Then on the return trip I was also pleasantly surprised by the gate agent at the Dayton Airport.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to her gate duties, she was in charge of the \u201cDayton Delights\u201d which consisted of complimentary<\/strong> snacks and drinks\u2026 and some throwing of some small footballs, but that\u2019s a story for another day.<\/span><\/p>\n

She was having some fun.<\/strong> And made sure everyone else did \u2013 whether you wanted to or not\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with the stress of a late arriving flight and people being concerned about missing their connections in Atlanta, there wasn\u2019t one harsh word spoken by anybody. I\u2019m convinced it was because she was so proactive, helpful and pleasant.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

She offered reassurances<\/strong> and made sure people knew they were \u201cprotected\u201d if they did miss their connections. (I learned \u201cprotected\u201d meant they were already booked on the next flight and guaranteed a seat if they did miss their connections)<\/span><\/p>\n

She got all the passengers on a full flight in record time. I\u2019ve never seen a flight boarded so fast and people in their seats ready to go before.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, I had the pleasure of sitting beside a very nice young man and we talked about all kinds of things on the short one-hour flight to Atlanta.<\/span><\/p>\n

It cost none of these people anything to be nice.<\/strong> My guess is they all felt better throughout their day and at the end of it for being who they each were.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing is for sure\u2026 each of them made a lot of lives better just by being who they were on that day.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s so nice to be in the presence of smiling happy people<\/strong> who spread their joy and love<\/strong> with smiles and kind words.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope I can do that for you as well \u2013 even if it\u2019s just by sharing this story with you today!<\/span><\/p>\n

Have an amazing day!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Spread some of your joy today \u2013 make a difference in somebody else\u2019s life. If just for today!<\/span><\/p>\n

You matter!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You make a difference!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To Your Success \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n
