Bits of warmth

[sonia]

I like having a reason to notice bits of warmth.

• The receptionists at my current vet are all notably warm and kind.
  
• For that matter, the receptionist at the dentist was warm and helpful when I made my appointment. A nice contrast with the previous one, where they were grumpy and unhelpful enough that I would have to remind myself that they were only incidental to my reason for being there.
  
• I saw a friend briefly at an event. We don't see each other often, but she is always warm when I do see her.

Not so much with this friend, but definitely with the receptionists I notice some wariness in myself, wondering what did I do to deserve the good treatment, and when am I accidentally going to break it.

You are a fellow human being! You don't have to DO anything to deserve good treatment (despite what your past history may be trying to tell you)!

I had a great interaction with my internet provider yesterday. They've always been tremendously helpful and warm, and I make a point of telling them how much I appreciate it.

Thank you! I keep trying to soak in that message, and it's always good to hear.

Yay, good to hear about other folks' warm experiences too!
