The Kindness of Strangers

Posted by Gracie2 on November 3, 2001, at 19:23:09


I was sitting on the bench outside the pharmacy when a woman walked towards me - she was maybe about 60 - and she was looking at me so intently that I thought something was wrong, like I was bleeding or something.
She walked up and said, "You have the most beautiful head of hair!"
I really was shocked. Usually when a stranger says something to me it's like, "Move your car, lady, before I have it towed."
I mean, what a really nice thing to do, she made my whole afternoon. Usually I'm so caught up in my own troubles that I barely notice other people. I think I'll try to do the same thing every once in awhile, I could say, "I love your jacket" or something like that without it killing me.

On second thought, in Silence of the Lambs, didn't Hannibal Lector say that to the senator at the airport?
Or maybe it was "Love your suit".
