We've just returned from a holiday in Hawaii for a week. Lots of Aloha and Mahalo and friendliness all around, culminated last night on the plane by a family willing to switch a seat so my husband and I could sit together, and a tolerate group of travelers surrounded by crying babies and toddlers who were good natured and tolerant. No one showed signs of grumpiness, and we all endured an hour of turbulence. The flight attendants were kind and joyful, and that really helped us. It sounds simple, but we've all been on planes where the attendants ignored us and people snapped at others. So this flight was a real gift.
Sounds like no biggie, but in fact, it's the little things... If we practice kind speech in these random situations, we build our believe in people and ourselves. It matters.
