Thank you for sharing the subtle ways we can leave impressions and make a difference Guy. I always enjoy your take and the interesting people you feature.
I've been very fortunate to have met people who gave me the gift of their time. It's such a precious commodity, so when someone says, "What else can I do for you?" it inspires me to be as giving with the next person I meet.
Years ago the check engine light on my Ford F-150 came on, preventing the truck from passing the annual inspection. I took the truck to Affordable Kar Kare in Mesquite, Texas. They said the light came on because of a kinked hose; they fixed the hose without charge. "Drive a hundred miles, and the light will go out." The truck passed inspection at the nearby Mobil station, and I will always remember Affordable Kar Kare.
A timely note indeed. (Nice to hear from real guy time to time) people are real busy, I think covid disrupted our interactions long term. Not being able to see people smile. Service work seems harder than ever to do these days...we all have good days and the bad ones...As a kid in boyscouts we were schooled in leaving things better than we found them. This applies here as well. It is work worth doing. Ever couple of weeks I do a "karma straightening day" and catch up the the betterment idea. ~TEU
True character is best revealed through small acts of thoughtfulness. It gets the attention of a humble man, even though it's not attention that was sought.

Great book on the topic - unreasonable hospitality
It’s so simple. It starts with being present and open to others. Aloha
In the dark, even a small Spark can be very bright thank you Guy. Please keep this encouragement coming.

I remembered that I wanted to go more than expected when someone went extra miles for me and for society even it might have become his burden.
