UBERCARE

If you have been reading along, the last week has not been my favorite. What's FUNNY is, I told someone that I WASN'T going to WRITE about it! 

oops...  

That someone was an Uber passenger. It is not unusual to share a bit about ourselves as we ride along. The best riders are the ones that like to talk. Not everyone is that type, but I find it easy to get folks to open up about things. Nothing too personal.

Nothing like I sometimes do.

I have to admit that I survey people all the time. It may be about a current event, or something I want to write about or just interested in. It makes time go by fast (sometimes too fast!) and hopefully making the ride a bit more fun for the customer. 

But.... as I've said, this week was particularly difficult to stay upbeat. 

I didn't want anyone to notice, but I may have let my true face show up just a bit. Why do I say that? Because everyone has been extraordinarily nice this entire week. How could I be so lucky?

I wish I could thank each and every one that helped make that fake smile I carried around, a bit more real. I wish I could let them know how much they helped... like a mini-rehab of my heart. I went from incredibly sad, as I started the new week on Sunday, but by tonight,  I'm just plain sad. It's nothing you get over in a blip. 

Without the positive and happy people I had the pleasure to drive around, it would have been a much more depressing 120 hours. It's not like I run into a bunch of meatheads out there. Most people are kind and compassionate. Some are thoughtful. Some are ready to get out immediately. 

Hopefully I don't jinx myself for tomorrow!
