Today at the checkout a woman was standing a little bit closer than I'm used to and when I was done with my items she placed my basket with the rest, still chatting with her accompaniment. I placed my hand on her shoulder and said thanks and she looked up almost a little bit surprised me thanking her. This reminded me how we can be inspired by other people. She felt so at ease with herself being that close to me and I would assume with other people as well. She looked as if she was from somewhere in the middle east if I was to guess and in my experience people from the middle east seems to have a very strong tradition of brotherhood and community life, they feel very warm hearted to me. Sometimes we swedes are described as a bit cold and shut off, keeping people at a distance and I would agree to some point. The will is there though (I hope dearly) and so when I experience these things I'm forever reminded how we can be inspired by other people to change in the simplest of ways, and how they can enrich our lives. So I would like to thank this woman that I met briefly this morning at the checkout. You made my day
