Life is funny. I view myself as quite pessimistic, stressed out, anxious, etc. But you never know what someone else sees. And it's always a humbling thing to find out.
The security guard near the store is the eyes and ears of the place. He sees everything, knows everyone and you definitely want on his good side. I've never done anything to try and get there, but never to get away from it either. He comes in and says hello almost every day, checks on the store and slowly we've started to talk more and more. He's fascinated, or maybe just really curious, about my diabetes. Every day he wants to know what I can eat, how I brush my teeth, where does my pump go when I sleep, can I handle the extreme heat, etc.
Today as he asks me the usual round of questions, he stops and says - I love coming and talking to you. You inspire me. You really inspire me. You do. Some days you keep me going. You're always positive. I know you have bad days, but you're always smiling and kind. I really love talking to you.
Humbled.
