The first silver line

Today was one of those days where every one you looked at was having a bad day.
Was it the grey in the sky? 
The chill of the wind? 
Or simply a coincidence?
Whatever the reason, it was present.  I may be only 20 years old but I have come to learn very quickly that people, Americans, more specifically feel that they need a quick-fix for everything in life.  Whether it be a faster check out lane, more items to choose from, or someone to literally tell them what to pick, they always need the fastest and most inexpensive way to fix whatever problem they presently have.  The problem that I found with that 'need' is that if other people need the exact same thing, then how are we suppose to help others.  I mean, if I want more pay and less work hours, how am I suppose to sufficiently help someone who needs a quick print or enlarged photo?  I can't.  I wouldn't have the training, the patience, or the care to help. 

Even though today was one of 'those' days.  I still wanted to help.  My job is minimum wage, not a ton of training and pretty basic in assisting our customers needs, but I still truthfully wanted to help. 
No matter how chilly the wind or grey the sky, I want to help people. 
Hopefully, there are a few other people in the world who feel the same way in their heart.  I can only hope.  And with my hope, was my silver lining. 



My silver lining, to help.  All ways.  Always.
