Just a Smile, That's All It Took


--by AndiCas, posted Mar 18, 2017
During lunch out today I got a bit upset and decided to pop to the bathroom to have a moment to myself to re-center. When I went through the curtain, I was really confused as there was an elderly lady doing her make up in the mirror, but I couldn't see the door to the toilet!

She obviously saw me looking confused as she pointed it out and ushered me in with a giant smile. When I came out I held back to wait for her to finish at the sink, but she grabbed me by the arm and hauled me over.

She then pulled towels for me and passed them over. And when the paper bin lid wouldn't lift, we did it together and had a good laugh. All without a word being spoken and her smiling hugely throughout!

When I got back to the table all I remembered was that lady's smile, and totally forgot that I was feeling upset.
