Yesterday
was just a normal Friday in Calgary and on the way home from work on the
C-Train I saw something happen that was awesome & we need lots more of in
this country. Something that made people
smile, laugh & actually look up from their smart phones for ten seconds.
It started
at Marlborough Station when a guy got on the train and announced the following
“Ladies
& Gentleman on this train could I have your attention please” .........
People started thumbing through their pockets & purses thinking it was a
Calgary Transit officer looking for transfers & proof of payment.
This was
followed up by “
First of all let me tell you that I am not sick, you will not
catch anything from me but I am however
going to high five every person on this train that will let me. You do not have to high five me back but I
will try & if you choose not to I hope you have an awesome weekend anyway
and try to smile”
For the
thirty seconds it took for people to hear this announcement no one was looking
at their phones, people were smiling & laughing about it with each other.
The guy
came by me I gave him a high five and told him what he was doing was so simple
but awesome.
He said “Just
trying to make people smile & I have two more cars to do so I have to go”
It’s little
things like this that make our city so awesome.
High
Five.................
