The Man in the Scrubs

Today, I was walking in the university's School of Medicine because I had to pick up some papers for my office. It's been very hot here recently, so I was wearing my jean shorts, a ugly navy-blue t-shirt that says Rochester Scholars in the front, my hair was in a bun, my sunglasses acted as a hair band, and to top it all off, I was completly sweaty. I wasn't a pretty picture.
I was minding my own business, you know, staring off into the abyss or some philosophical crap like that. And all of a sudden, this young man, student of the school, about the age of 26, wearing a doctor's outfit, comes up to me and says, "Please smile. You're too pretty to be sad."

Then he looked me in the eyes and
I smiled at him.

"Thank you," he said.
And like that, he walked away.
Even though it hurt to smile, I kept smiling all day for him, but especially, for myself.
It's nice to see how life can take care of you even though you are going through difficult times. It's nature's little way of letting you know that you are not alone.
