I brightened her day!

I am a very shy person around people I do not know. So what I did the other day was so out of character for me. But I am glad I took action and stepped out of my comfort zone.
 
I was grocery shopping, in the aisle in front of me was a lady who’s hair caught my eye. Not sure why but it was such a great style, it was perfect on her. As I went by her I really checked it out… taking notes for “my” next hair cut. As I was going around the corner to the next aisle an over powering urge came over me. I had to take action. I stepped out of my comfort zone.
 
I went back to this perfect stranger and said, “how do you get your hair like that? It looks so nice.”  A smile came over her face and she said, “it is a wig.” She went on to tell me that her chemo treatments that she takes for her breast cancer had left her without one hair follicle on her head. She told me that I had made her day and made her feel beautiful and whole again, I thought for a moment she would cry.
 
By stepping out of my comfort zone and taking action I brightened someone’s day It was contagious, I felt better for taking action too.
 
What action can you take today?
 
Step out of your comfort zone.

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of my lady readers that October is “Breast Cancer Awareness Month.” Please take action and schedule your annual mammogram appointment.

 
To my gentleman readers, please show this to all of the special women in your life.

    Hi Cindy,
    I like that idea of comming out of your comfort zone. You know I also look at other ladies hair-do’s some I compliment. You see my daughter is a hair-stylist and I am always looking for a hair style for my wife and tell my daughter, who’s name is also Cindy. Just me, Tom Stack.

    I like the idea too Tom.
    I recall hearing something about the best fruit is out on the limb.
