I was waiting in line at the pharmacy and of course in a hurry. There was only one person in front of me so I thought it wouldn’t take long. Time was passing and I was getting impatient. I decided to focus on my inner peace and not my vexation so I stood back and watched and listened to see what I could learn. The person being waited on was an elderly gentleman who was really struggling cognitively. Two employees were trying to assist him. They never lost patience with him, and continued to try to solve his problems with kindness, gentleness and respect. Even though I had to wait an extra ten minutes, I was able to witness an extraordinary act of kindness I would have missed otherwise. It helped me remember we are all in this together and we need each other’s care and support. When it was my turn at the counter I told the pharmacy staff how much their kindness had inspired me. When I left the store I felt as though I was the one who had been touched by grace.
