Every once in a while I like to go back to the first home I had here in El Paso. Today is one of those days. I wanted to use the internet and see some old friends, so I headed over to the hotel right after church. On entering, I greeted the guy behind the desk, asking if it was ok if I took over my usual corner. He was on the phone, so he gave me a quick thumbs up. Sitting down and setting up my stuff, I saw the man I mentioned HERE, and started smiling just thinking about our last conversation. He looked up to see me smiling, and broke into a grin himself, asking me what I was smiling for. He then introduced himself as "T", asking me if he could get me anything: yogurt? cereal? waffles? bagel? I asked him what the kindness was for, and the only explanation I got was that I was smiling.
Knowing that all I had brought was a granola bar, I accepted the offer and ended up with a toasted bagel topped with cream cheese, some water, and some chips.
T's advice for me today: Missi, you betta watch yo back. 'cauz if'n you don watch i', you's a gunna end up with a back like mine here. You take care o' yo back. you watch out fo' it, you hear?
So watch your back everyone :)
