Attitude Counts

The phone rang while I was making dinner tonight. I only answered it because I thought it was my husband calling. Nope, it was a someone calling with a survey about state seat belt laws and my personal seat belt use. I brusquely asked, "how long is this going to take?" He said three minutes, which sounded like two minutes too long to me, but I remembered my vow of once a day kindness and said "sure." He was true to his word, and it did take about three minutes. Although it was clear that, in response to my original tone, he was talking as fast as he could. I had some regret about not being kinder from the onset. Perhaps my next goal might be a kind act accompanied by a kind attitude.
