In Your Presence...

For the past few nights I have been thinking about this topic. I decided to share it with you guys, my Blogger audience. It will be quick

At the Big Box store near my sister's home there is this male worker I've seen a couple times (actually just saw him this past weekend) that always speaks. He says the same thing when he sees me.
Him:    "Hey. How are you doing"?
Me:      "Hi. I'm fine and yourself"?
Him:    "Great, now that I see you".
I always smile & chuckle in response. No matter how I may look in the store that is what he says.

Tired Eyes + Headache = The Specs

No matter how focused I am (because grocery shopping is not on my faves list) that is what he says. I don't know his name and what he says may very well be his standard line. (I'll await comments and/or questions from the FBFs that have seen me there (and other nosy FBF) on FB.) But let's play the "What If" game.

The word Presence comes to mind. Presence means the state or fact of existing, occurring, or being present in a place or thing.

What if every time I walked into that store and my presence really did brighten that man's day? What if everywhere I went, I brightened someone's day? It makes me think about what does our presences say when we are anywhere, especially in places where most people don't know us. Just the fact of being somewhere like a store, park, bank, etc, not even saying a word and just moving about doing whatever activity that is done, can speak to someone.

That is powerful.

I would hate to know that my sheer being somewhere turned a virtual stranger off. That would tell me that my aura stunk with negativity. I consider myself a mostly positive person. This is Pic Collage is I have envision what I look like on the inside.

I don't want strangers to feel they would get Ms. Tired Sweat Pants all the time by being around a few moments simple energy I giving to the atmosphere. Especially if I thought I was giving out positive energy.

So, let's work on what Presence is saying. Let's work making "just being around" us more positive. Never know how "Great, Now That I See You" feeling you could give someone without ever saying a word.

Always, Talking to You in Adult Terms
