Chatting to a lady on the till as she packed my goods, I got an insight into her life.
Her family home was in another country. She was very close to her mother and she missed her dearly. England rained a lot in comparison and she felt the people she served reflected this. They rarely smiled or thanked her for her service. The behaviours she encountered daily were making it harder for her to keep her sunny persona.
I acknowledged her sadness in her recollection. How could she keep her positive energy?
Perhaps, the joy of seeing her mother in sunnier climes was a vision she could keep in her mind. Perhaps, holding her mother in her heart would mean she was with her always. And perhaps knowing that the sun is still shining above the clouds, could be an empowering mind set to keep her shining. She lit up with the last perhaps 😊
