Sept 29 2025 - Perspective matters!

Perspective Matters by Steve Adams

I placed an online order with a national retail chain.  One item was stocked in the local store, but the other was not, so I was careful to choose the Shipping option as opposed to the Delivery option.

Today, I received a note telling me the local store had one of the parts out for delivery. I shook my head in disbelief.  Sure enough, within 15 minutes of the message, a smiling lady pulled her car into the driveway.  I saw her coming and walked out to meet her with my head hung low.  She noticed and inquired why I was disappointed. I apologized for running her out to deliver an $8 part.

We laughed and she shared with me how they brought several deliveries and that it was not a special trip, but she went further thanking ME for the wonderful experience, for supporting her ability to earn a wage and for the jovial conversation that lifted her spirits.  What I thought was a needless waste was in fact a welcomed boost.
