A little more light
Living with this feeling
Sam notices the cashier blink hard after a customer leaves the line. The next person is already impatient. Sam could pretend not to see it. Instead, Sam says, ‘Take your time. That was a lot, and you did not deserve it.’ The cashier exhales and nods once. Kindness does not always need a grand gesture or a public reward. Sometimes it is the sentence that returns someone to themselves after another person tried to make them small.

What is one response you can choose now that respects the feeling without letting it make every decision?
