Beautiful People

I have encountered some of the most stressful situations in the past few days:

people driving like maniacs
unprofessionalism at the work place
a dead car battery
a car headlight outage
Christmas shopping
finals
familial issues
...I could complain forever!

However, it's during these stressful moments when I really take note of the beauty of some people in this world! The people who don't realize that who they are or what they do to consider others really makes a difference. The professor who is understanding and wants the very best out of her students, even tardy. Or the short woman smiling at me as I wait on the brake for her to scurry across a busy highway after the light turns green. These people are the ones who make complaining seem worthless; the beautiful people who make life and all of its stresses so worth it!
