在日常的生活琐事中"我"看到了一颗善良真诚的"珍珠",她让我打破思维定式,跳出自己设定的框架,学会放慢生活的节奏,轻松生活。你的生活中有这样闪光的"珍珠"么？

—By Cabbage

I get my hair cut about twice a year, so making an appointment is a big deal for me. The woman who cuts my hair is a real sweetie and is more like a therapist* for everyone who walks into the door! It always amazes me that even though I don’t see her very often, she remembers everything about me.

Once upon a time, I called to make an appointment and found that everything was booked. However, to my great surprise, a few evenings later she called to tell me that someone had cancelled his appointment and I could go. So, I made a mental note to bring something special for her when I went for my haircut.

On the day of the appointment there was a great storm. As I was leaving work, I picked up a hot chocolate and an extra large chocolate cookie to give my hairstylist. I was driving slowly because of the weather and I was sure I would miss my appointment. Still, I wanted to give the hot chocolate to her.

Well, she was delighted to get the surprise and when I said perhaps I should make another appointment because I had missed the appointment and I had to go to the school to pick up my son. She just asked what time I needed to leave and promised me she would get the job done.

She did, and I did not only get to my son’s school safely in time, I was actually early!

Here is a pearl of wisdom that she shared with me on that rainy day, "I learned that the faster I get out of my own way, the smoother things will go!"Sometimes we are our own worst enemy!
