Being told by the optical office manager that she felt blessed to have met me as she walked over and gave me a big hug. We seem to have struck up a friendship of sorts over the last couple of months while dealing with my eyeglass situation.
It felt really nice to be appreciated by another person. It definitely made me smile.
