Day 17
I am currently listening to the audiobook  Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek. Last year I listened to his book Start With Why ,which has become one of my top 10 must read suggestions to everyone.
Mr. Sinek points out that wanting to feel good is part of the human condition. It is not something haphazard. It is a chemically induced biological necessity.
I am finding this scientific explanation of why we do what we do and why we act the way we act utterly fascinating.
If nothing else, it has offered me the opportunity to accept a compliment., to be comfortable when someone says something nice to or about me.
For years, I struggled with that and tried my damndest to avoid it.
That has changed .
Today for instance....
As my passengers were off loading at the end of my run, I was helping Claire,the last one off the bus ,get down. As I do for everyone on the bus, I offered her my arm and waited for  her to steady herself,. She thanked me and headed off to go inside. Then she stopped, taking a hold of my arm again, and said"if no one else has told you, you are the best driver we have ever had. You have a special heart."
Thank you Claire !
