If we were all a bit more like Keeley

I have been thinking lots about this whole human KINDNESS..word that is. Wondering how such a simple concept it truly rare to find and I am not one to unfortunately brag on this one as well. And then I think of Keeley. A women mid-way through her life and so filled with that true unconditional kindness almost love for all who enter her life. Keeley is a local barista at my towns Starbucks, but more then that she embodies the most pure state of kindness. She has this true grin, you know the one seen rarely on a workers face as if usually they are acting away there day with the classic questions "how is your day"' only to really want the answer '"good."( as were are well trained in the social world) but not Keeley she has a true interest in all who walk amongst her, true compassion for all..and I wonder how does she do it. Not too long ago her husband died of brain cancer, her family has stretched around the country and still she is filled with happiness. I wonder everyday how she does it...I don't think i would have that same love for all after such a tragic experience.. but can only hope I might. There isn't a visit that doesn't go by where she doesn't use words of encouragement, interest in my everyday life,and everyone elses, sharing all her treats with my kiddos. and just simply living for today. And then sadly I try to think of others like her and yes people are kind, people are loving but there is a rare someone who lives this life ever minute she is awake. So in a world filled with such hate, disgust, impatience, looking a the " grass is always greener" I am so blessed to know a women filled with unconditional love and wish to walk a moment in her footsteps. So here's to the Keeleys of the world to human kind!!
