one of our customers at urban that has been a regular since i began over three years ago has been in a bad mood lately. he's usually a cheerful fellow, always saying hello & inquiring about our lives. but lately he's seemed down, sad, not himself.
this fella happens to very much like my blueberry muffins with blueberry jam on top. he has inquired about exactly how i make them, make the jam, make the crispy topping. he frequently asks if i am going to make them on any given day. he is very kind about these muffins.
so yesterday morning, i decided to whip up some muffins as quickly as i could, in hopes they would be out of the oven before he came in for his cappuccino. luckily, he was sitting down with a newspaper when they were finally done. i took one to his table, fresh out of the oven, & asked if he would like a muffin.
shocked, he looked up at me & said yes, he would like that very much. i set it down, warned him it was quite hot, & walked away.
when i came back out front a bit later to put out the rest of the muffins to sell, he walked up to me & with tears in his eyes said "you have no idea how much i needed that this morning. not the muffin, but the gesture. thank you. thank you so much. thank you."
sometimes all it takes is a little flour & sugar.
i am so thankful for that experience.
i hope your days get much better, robert.
& i hope your weekend is absolutely wonderful, friends.
love love,
kjp.
