What is Your Song?

Some people have an optimism that is contagious and you can't help but want to be around them....their attitude is positive and they rarely let others influence their mood. You get caught up in their smile and put one on yourself....you just can't help it.



I entered the local Starbucks yesterday to grab coffee (quite simply I love coffee!) with an old colleague. After our conversation I hung out a bit to read and just get my mind wrapped around the day.

Amid the flurry of Venti Skinny Chai Lattes, Tall Caramel Macchiatos and my personal favorite, Grande (Quad) Americanos being ordered, there was a woman singing. I was surprised and delighted that one; she was unafraid to belt out a bit and two; she had a good voice.

She was handling the drive through orders and in between taking orders and handing the glorious coffee confections out the window she was singing praise hymns. It started a chain reaction....her co-workers soon joined in and this great energy (more than a normal Starbucks) began to take hold.

I know I was not the only one humming my way out the door with a rather large grin on my face thanks to my new favorite song bird! It occurred to me that like singing, our "song" is what people feed off of, you get to choose what kind of "song" you sing everyday.
