There's Magic In Every Day

In this life we have so many ways to make others smile. The great thing is that sometimes you do not even know that you are doing it. Yesterday I was walking into one of my favorite juice places in the city and I had an interaction with a woman that truly warmed my heart.

  Firstly, you never know who you are talking to in the world when you open your mouth. By that I mean, you don't know who know who or who is connected to whom.

The guy behind the counter smiled and said hello and his boss, who turned out to be the owner, greeted me with warmth as well. Remember, I have never met either of these people before in my entire life. I had been in this place maybe 4 times prior to yesterday, however, this time was special.

As I was just about to pass them, I see the woman grab the guy by his chin area and I hear her say, "You see? This is what you do to me all of the time! This doesn't feel good does it?" Well, I was a bit taken aback by her words and then I felt something would happen right afterward.
