It香蕉视频直播檚 been five months of being told, daily by the people in charge, to be nice to others.
That香蕉视频直播檚 sort of what it feels like in kindergarten.
Come to think of it, reflecting on some of the self-entitled temper-tantrums we香蕉视频直播檝e witnessed on the news, on the street, and on social media, it香蕉视频直播檚 exactly like kindergarten.
Yet, who among us hasn香蕉视频直播檛 had the itch, on a bad day, to slap the next closest person the next time we are told to be nice?
What is nice going to do for me, exactly?
Is it going to stop me from contracting COVID, like eating garlic or gargling with salt water?
Is it going to ease the financial and work stress associated with the pandemic?
Is it going to put toilet paper on the shelves?
So, meet Sandra Webster.
Most people who live in Princeton and area know Sandra.
She worked for several decades at a local bank, and for the past 11 years, at Save On Foods.
Sandra is not your everyday 香蕉视频直播榙id you find everything you were looking香蕉视频直播� for kind of cashier.
Two weeks ago she retired. Her last shift was punctuated by gifts, cards, tears and laughter.
It must nearly have killed her, not being able to hug.
A post to a community Facebook page, noting this special day, received 716 likes and 389 comments, plus eight shares.
To a word, everything said was nice.
That香蕉视频直播檚 remarkable, to say the least, and miraculous, to say the most.
This is a Facebook group comprised of more than 4,000 people who ordinarily cannot agree on the colour of the sky on a cloudless day.
Everyone agrees though, that Sandra is special.

There is more, of course香蕉视频直播ell, 384 other messages of gratitude and congratulations.
And it香蕉视频直播檚 a bag of food for thought.
There are numerous ways one person can make a difference in the world, both for good or ill.
Often we associate the ability to impact the lives of others with influence or wealth.
A smile, someone remembering your name, asking after your family, giving you her undivided attention for a few moments and checking in, to make sure you are okay?
That can change another person香蕉视频直播檚 day.
Maybe there is something to this niceness and kindness we香蕉视频直播檝e been hearing so much about.
