A little bit of kindness - goes a long way

Came to the doctor's this morning with flu symptoms. Fever, body ache, lethargy - you know the rest.

It's a busy surgery, with 8-10 docs and I'm only a semi-regular; if there is such.

This morning I got a smile and was greeted with my own name. As miserable as I felt I couldn't help but return the smile and it stuck with me for moments afterwards. Suddenly I felt a lot better.

Such a small thing, calling people their name and letting off a smile, yet it goes such a long way.
