Last week, the same day when I received the devastating news about an old friend's death, I decided to make a difference in someone else's life.
I took a break at the office to go out and buy a bunch of flowers for a clerk at the bank. She walked an extra mile to help to solve a problem regarding our travel insurance documents that we should have received by that time -- and the problem wasn't even caused by her department.
Because of her competence and work ethic, we received our documents that same afternoon. So I guess she deserved every petal of that bunch of flowers. I also informed her line manager about her excellent service.
Although my heart still aches about my friend who passed away too soon, I realize I can still make a difference with the life I live.
