I've had a rough week.
Yesterday was particularly challenging - so much so that last night I looked up a talk from a few years ago I heard where a little boy tells his mom "Hope ya know we had a hard time" and cried.
I was very grateful for some reassurances from people I love and who know me well. But you know what really restored my faith in humanity today? a fork :)
In my hurry to eat lunch and rush to the train on my way to a meeting I wasn't looking forward to I dropped my fork. I was trying to work out in my head how to manage without it when I heard someone from a street food truck calling out.
My first thought was he wanted someone to buy something from him. Not the case - he was telling me, "Miss, we have forks!"
Such a simple thing. I gratefully accepted the fork and then noticed several other things to be grateful for - someone holding a door open, a "bless you" after a sneeze...
People are great. Life is good!
