nicest and bestest

....Evar! (even though I despise the "ever" comments that have been highly over used in todays society, I think this time it is fitting)

Just got off the phone with a dietician colleague and I just think she's one of the most wonderful people one can meet.

So genuine and sweet and open and kind. How lovely is that?

I don't even know her that well, nor does my work have me interacting with her that much at all, but even just a simple hello in meetings or in the hallway. I think some people are just walking rays of light and they just don't know it.

And thats just an amazing thing.

You can't pinpoint what it is, but somehow they manage exude a welcoming, friendly, humble, vibe, that is not fake, thoughtless, detached or insincere. Its not that they are walking with painted smiles on their faces, but secretly hiding a pain or over compensating for some other darker reasons. They are there in the present to everyone they interact with.

I know of a social worker colleague that is the same way and my own coworker is probably the same way but I'm used to him. I also have an old highschool friend that is similar and a long time friend I met in Italy when I was younger. Is it sad that I can count these people on one hand? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, or maybe I focus too much on the bad around me.

Anyways, they certainly do inspire so much that I realize I should shift my perspective on those around me.....
