Savvy Entertaining

My Wednesday Shout-Out goes out today to someone I don’t know. I can’t even tell you her name. But she really does deserve a pat on the back.

Sunday when I was traveling back from Milwaukee, I had a connecting flight in Denver. While sitting and waiting for the plane to board, I had the opportunity to watch the airline employee who was working our gate. Now, I don’t know about you, but usually the words I’d use to describe a gate agent would be abrupt, detached, disinterested, and quite often rude.

But this employee was smiling. She was beaming and laughing. Even when less than polite travelers got in her face and started making demands. She held onto her good attitude like it was a lifeline.  She might have been faking it, but I don’t think so. It was too genuine.

So the lesson I learned from her is this: be joyful where you are at, no matter what you are doing, or what goes on around you. Be joyful.

Go on, try it today.

Be joyful!
