Awwwww......

When I walked up to my bus stop this morning, a middle aged rather large lady with a happy face gave me a big smile and said, "Good morning!" I smiled back. "Morning." I appreciated the fact that she acknowledged me, as most mornings there is about the same group of people waiting for the 7.25am bus, but although that makes us almost something like a team, most of them just ignore each other. I'm fairly new to the 7.25 team, so it was nice to get a welcome.

The big lady looked at me and said, "You always look so lovely."

"Oh, thank you!" I smiled again. I was quite surprised.

"Every morning you wear something different and it always matches and is all beautiful and perfect", the lady said.

I laughed. "Some of my friends give me a hard time because I've got a bit of an obsession with colour cordination."

"Oh no no no", the lady said, "it's just so delightful to see you in the morning. I always look at you and think, I wish I had such good taste."

Inside the bus, I looked at my chocolate brown high heels with the beige stripe which exactely matched the colour of my belt, which in turn was a shade lighter than my jacket. The singlet underneath my jacket was the same colour as the other stripe on my heels and the bag was pretty much the same beige as my jacket. It goes without saying that of course the earrings matched the colour scheme as well as my ring.

I really am a bit of freak with my obsessive colour cordinating. But it's nice to see that some obviously don't hold that against me and in fact even make the effort to tell me I look nice. Awww... random acts of kindness. They are the best. Especially if they are directed at me.
