The following story was sent in by a subscriber in response to the Reminder about Being the Rainbow in Someone Else’s Cloud. “My wife and I were in downtown Raleigh waiting outside for our restaurant to open for dinner when I noticed a man walking up the street near us. He was slightly hunched over, hands in his jeans pockets, looking down at the sidewalk. He had on a brand-new tan cowboy hat.. As he walked past us I said, “Nice hat.” He turned to me and said, Thanks,” As he walked away he straightened his posture, held his head up, shoulders back, and changed his walk to a stride. I am so glad I spoke those two words.” This is a wonderful example of what we all need to do more of.
