Today I was in Ottawa eating breakfast in a lovely little hotel. Somewhere between my starbucks coffee and my order of pancakes I realized that our waiter was a most kind and funny older man. He showed us great kindness by taking the time to tell us richly historic stories about Ottawa and surrounding area. We were shocked to hear about how a proprietor in Ottawa sank along with the Titanic while trying to bring funiture from Europe, in order to furnish his hotel. This waiter's stories were intertwined with delicious food and great scenario; his willingness to share his stories and his time made me appreciate how fortunate we are to have people who care enough to pass on these important and interesting stories about the history of our capital city.
Hopefully I will be able to take this kindness and pay it forward to others.
