Wow. I have goosebumps. A while back I got into a verbal altercation with a lady in the toll booth. We both were at fault. (Both tired and irritable. Me from driving, her from working late night) We exchanged some real attitude and hatred and then I ended it with a very sarcastic, condescending God bless you as I punched the gas pedal and sped away. I never thought Id see her again. It ate at me a little. Well, today, I pull up to pay the toll and who is it?? YES. its her!!! Heres our conversation: Me: You know, a month or so ago, we had some words..... Her: Yeah, I remember..... Me: Well, I wanted to apologize and sincerely wish you and your family a happy New Year. And when I say God bless you this time, I want you to know ....I really mean that. I was wrong and I was hoping to see you again to properly make amends with you. She teared up and thanked me like 3 times as she wiped her eyes...and one more thank you hanging out of the toll booth as I drove away smiling and waving. I love when I get the chance to make a wrong, RIGHT. One of the best feelings in the world. Her genuine smile lit up my day. A small moment in comparison to the world but a big moment in both of our lives. Strength and light. #BzBe13 #HellandBack
