A reasonably edited excerpt from a handwritten journal I keep sometimes:

It is a week later & I am not going to feel sorry this time. I'm not sorry I was sick and did not journal or write because sorry doesn't change a thing. I'm not not sorry I was suspended for performance issues [or that]  I am resigning from P&R Tuesday because my loyalty cost

Lovely Clerks

[ext_547684]

Sometimes, in my experience, lovely sales representatives enter our lives for 15 to 30 minutes. The same with waitresses. Though there may be no future, the moment(s) do become memorable.
I recall a waitress in south central Minnesota when we had stopped for the evening while on vacation. Lovely, very personable teenage lady who took the time and made the effort to be kind to a young boy. That boy appreciated the attention, and that memory became engraved in the father of the boy...father is middle-aged now, the boy is a man.
Moments with such lovely creatures, who may be angels, are forged not so much by the outer beauty but by the inner beauty of the waitress or shoe clerk.

Ambient beauty

Agreed. It is something mysterious -- a real magic! It's as if when others merely glitter these ladies are radiating. They cast an aura that is invisible to the eye but felt on deeper levels. I didn't glance at her and go "wow, she's hot". It was when she started doing her job that I noticed "wow... she is extremely beautiful."

It got me thinking :-)
