the luckiest people
In our lives, we have the opportunity to interact with all kinds of people. Those with whom we work, those we see at the grocery store, those who live with us, those we call our friends. I have been really blessed in that, overall, I am surrounded by nice people. I mean, <i>nice</i>. At home, at work, out and about - anywhere. Except maybe at the gym - everyone seems pretty much into themselves there. Except Terry, who is also nice. But I digress.
For example, for the last few days I have been working with some folks who theoretically have the potential to be not-so-nice. They're pharma reps. One hears many rumors about any kind of sales rep, but particularly pharma reps. But these lovely people were just so nice - genuine, friendly and sweet. It was such a pleasure working with them! One even invited me to give her a buzz the next time I'm in NY - which will be next month, and I am looking forward to hanging out. Oh yeah!
I guess it feels hopeful that in a world where many people experience such hardship and live in fear and where you really have to look out for yourself most of the time, there are some sincerely good people who are happy to extend the goodness within to you. And I am grateful to know a lot of them. And the list grows longer every day. Now that's living well.
