Kindness
We took a weekend Memorial day trip to wonderful Washington, D.C. What a great town. The fantastic Smithsonian is free, the incredible Lincoln and, Jefferson memorials, White House, and Capitol building are all spectacular sights.
We visited the hallowed Arlington Cemetery and witnessed the solemn Changing of the Guard and at the Laying of the Wreath ceremony saw Connestoga a local PA high school from our area participate in the presenting of the wreath.
But the highlight came from a simple act of kindness. We were debating about staying an extra night and decided to stay Sunday night into Memorial day Monday. After finding a good deal on the Booking.com app for the Hamilton Hotel, a nice boutique hotel in downtown D.C., five minutes from the White House and National Mall, we arrived at the front desk to check-in and were greeted by Arestel, a lovely young woman.
Arestel asked us how we were doing and we responded just fine, my wife Lisa then proceeded to ask Arestel how she was doing, Arestel responded that no one ever asks her how she is doing! So sad! She then proceeded to upgrade us to a terrific Executive Suite on the 12th floor with a view of the Washington Monument! What a wonderful surprise.
We All have this tremendous Power and ability to lighten someone's load or brighten someone's day with just a smile and hello. Just think of that power for a moment. Awesome. And watch how Nature works to return those blessings in
Thank you Arestel for your kindness and generosity.
All from just a little act of kindness of reciprocating in responding to "How are you doing? With a "fine" response and "How are You doing?!
The Power of a little Love and Kindness.
With Love,
Coach K
