“And this is Rod…he
always says thank you when you get him a beer…”
A new bartender started at my local “drinker” last week, and
the quote above was how I was introduced to her. I did smile when I heard the
introduction. I like being known as the
guy that says thank you. It reminds me about living the gratitude
lifestyle and being thankful for everything in and around my life. Even when I experience less than good events
in life, I am still thankful for the experience, as I know something good will
come out of the situation. Recently, I shot
my mouth off to someone and hurt their feelings. As soon as the words exited my mouth, I knew
I was wrong. I offered no excuse, said I
was wrong, and I apologized. I said it
and I owned it.
The upside to my dumb remarks was a reminder that words have
power, I am a work in progress, the male ego stinks and overrides logic sometimes,
and to pause 5 seconds before opening my mouth.
I much prefer an introduction as the guy that says thank you. How are you introduced?
