Middle of Nowhere Kansas

I am currently traveling (a bit for business, a bit for pleasure) and we are doing it as a road trip. Last night, shortly after eleven, we decided it was time to stop for the evening. We stopped in a small town in Kansas, looked at our choices of two hotels and went to the name we recognized. The lady working the front desk immediately shared that she was new there and didn't even live in the town we were in. She then recommended that we drive another thirty miles to a bigger town that has better hotels and better prices. We thanked her profusely and quickly left her hotel.

Perhaps she didn't want to deal with checking us in, but the her warmth definitely made me feel as though she was simply helping us to be nice. I found that incredibly refreshing!

We drove another thirty miles and in no time we were at a much nicer hotel for a better price. It is such a nice feeling when you meet someone who genuinely wants to help you.

Think about it and when you can, help family, friends and even strangers.
