The daily difference


I awoke Wednesday morning and decided to take a run. I am not an avid runner--aspiring maybe--but the brisk morning run took some stress away. After getting ready, I stopped at my local coffee shop to grab a latte, and then headed to work. A typical day. After opening the branch, I helped customers with their banking. Apparently one customer really liked the service I provided him with. I hadn't met him before, but helped him and conversed with him, as I do with all my customers. After I finished his transaction, he smiled, thanked me, and left.


About 20 minutes later the man came back holding a card in his hand.

"This is for you," he said. "You deserve it!"

I didn't know what to say, but I managed a quick 'thank you' as he left.

I opened the card and read the special note he wrote inside.


It read as follows:



Dear Krystal,

Very rarely do I meet people with such an incredible attitude! Thank you for starting my day off in a pleasant manner!


With love from the heart,


Your friend Paul.






We all make a daily difference in others lives, whether we notice it or not. I only hope I can have a positive impact like this on someone everyday!
