Lori--Hope you'll stick around. I loved your story and it was obvious that the salesperson really made your day and was helpful. These days, that's pretty rare.

We all have different "hot" buttons, I guess. When I read something that hits one of mine, I try to remember that our diversity is what makes life interesting. And we all have goodness inside us and most people don't mean to offend. Even those who try to hurt, there's something wrong inside that person's heart. We all suffer---it's the one thing all of us have in common. If I remind myself of that, it's easier for me to remember that what V says is true: it's not all about ME. Thank goodness for that!
