It's the very little things

Day 2 woot woot

Sometimes.. well sometimes you should really treat yourself.
I spend the morning with a friend, drinking an overprized yet fantastically yummy coffee,eating a homemade plum cake and just sitting and talking in the sunshine.
It was bliss. And doing this for yourself IS important, yet it is not what I meant with "the little things"

Politeness
We were at a very small coffee bar on the food market,they have few places to sit and we asked a very nice young couple if we could join them at their table and instantly talked to them about the coffee and such. It was quite nice.
They left after a while and (very suddenly) two women sat down at our table, without asking, without even saying Hello.
Why? Really. Does it hurt..? I know this sounds like yet another rant about impoliteness, our society bla bla but this isn't what I mean. It's just that not only the world would be a nicer place if we took time to recognize other people, just a smile here and then.. a good morning.. I usually feel better, more connected to the world when I do this.. and in a better mood. Even time at work flies by when you are nice to people.. and when you work in a shop.. well they spend more time and therefore usually more money if you're nice to them. And guess what.. they come back even!

Well.. don't get me startet on German sales people.

I understand if you want to keep to yourself, sometimes I do that too, most of the time actually. I put on my sunglasses and feel sort of invisible but a few times a day.. it's nice to smile at someone, a little nod.. even if most of the people think you're a nutter.
