Vacation Reflection

We all can agree that our thought follow us everywhere- even on vacation. This fourth of July, as I was waiting waiting to eat breakfast at a Hamton Inn, a thought came to my mind. So, I ran up to the the lady standing at the front desk, in front of where I was sitting, for a napkin. I needed to write what I was feeling at the time even thought I wasn't exactly sure where it was going. I missed at least two oppturnity to get some eggs from the free breakfast, but it seemed that my boyfriend and I missed. A lady that stayed there went up to the lady at the front desk to complain about the service and how there is only one girl working the breakfast. She was upset that there wasn't any breakfast left for her two, young daughters. I had a yogurt in my hand and walked over to offer it to the woman. Even though she didn't take, it, she seemed really appreciative that I offered. It wasn't a big deal, but I felt like I was involved in the situation in a small way, and it made me feel good to care.

We all have natural instincts inside us to help people and support one another- some a lot more than others. When people around us have troubles, we listen in ( and it's not always because we like to easdrop) We are actually connecting. We are linking ourselves either because we understand, agree, or feel so strongly about. This situation was not so serious, but it makes me think. We want to be involved in what is going on around us. We want to reach out and be the ones to have the solutions.
