I have a new hero. The woman at the bank.

Every week I go there and she is there. She is such a merry woman who is so delightful and kind and lovely and sweet. I don’t usually even get her, I just see her chatting to other people and it makes me happy. It makes my day every time. I find it amazing. I think so hard about the best ways to change the world and agonize so much. But I reckon she’s been doing a heck of a lot more just being so lovely at the bank everyday, not necessarily agonizing so much. It’s encouraging. And inspiring. And humbling. I never knew a bank teller could make such a difference to the lives of so many people, but she’s been making my life better.

And while we are honouring lovely people, Robyn from the blood bank is another beautiful woman making people’s lives happier just by the way she is so kind. I admire kindness like theirs.
