August Happiness Challenge -- Day 18

 Today's happiness: Kamilah Doesn't Hate Me

My 2024 Happiness Icon

Kamilah is one of the sales associates at the card shop. She has always regarded me warily and hasn't spoken to me unless absolutely necessary. Initially this bothered me because our boss, Ceecee, always talks about Kamilah as though she's one of the warmest people on the planet. Well, not with me. She's under no obligation to like me, and since we seldom work together for more than half hour at a crack, I can live with that.

Today I stopped by the card shop on my day off to (naturally) buy a get well card for my aunt. Jen was the manager on duty and Kamilah was on duty, too. I knew Jen would be happy to see me. I was surprised, however, that Kamilah was animated and participated in Jen's and my conversation.

So Kamilah doesn't hate me. That's so much better than Kamilah hating me. So I'm happy.


Happy August Happiness Challenge!
 
Each day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world.

  1. I am glad you are happy that your co worker does like you. She might be the type of person that takes a while to warm up to others.

  3. Indifference of a colleague makes a strained environment. I'm glad you saw the warmer side of her.

  4. That is a very good thing to be happy about.
