"Are you ok?"

Those three words were spoken to me this morning while I was in the grocery store. An employee who was working in the produce section near me asked me that question. I hadn't looked towards her or indicated that I was in need of help. I didn't feel as though I was giving off any vibes of feeling bad. It was just a normal morning for me, stopping by the store after a workout.

It struck me though. This out-of-the-blue question from a stranger.

My first thought was, do I look like I'm not ok? What had I been thinking of? It made me do a quick self-check, I guess.

I assured her that I was ok. She smiled and then asked if I was looking for something. I mentioned a vegetable that wasn't in stock, and she offered to go to the back to see if there were any. I told her thank you, but no.

It was this incredibly short exchange between two strangers, but it was such a nice thing to have happen. A simple kindness reminding me that there are people out there who care, just because they are good people.

So, to the ones reading this, from me to you - are you ok?
