As part of the holiday routine while visiting my in-laws, we went to the market to look around. Not really to buy anything, but just to window-shop. It’s packed as usual and you’re now in a game of avoiding getting hit by other people’s shoulders.
As someone currently living without flour, coffee, dairy, fried foods, and sugar, there’s really no snack to nibble on while roaming the market. It’s a shame, but it’s fine. Well, it’s not really fine, but it’s fine.
Something catches my eye on this crazy bustling street, and it’s the hot stores.
There are some hot stores even though their products are not particularly better than those of other similar stores. They are extremely kind, or extremely enthusiastic, or both. It’s not 100% the case, as there’s always an outlier, yet it’s mostly the case.
In those hot stores, there are interest, smiles, and vitality. It’s not just for today. They are always like that.
I get this energy while observing those stores.
The energy of interest, smiles, and vibrancy.
