What A Blessing


I had such an awesome night at work!

It was a little bit more work than I’ve been used to for the past month but my apron was stacked so I can’t complain.

I feel good.

One of my customers made me cry. I don’t know what it is but- they were a couple and they were making a to-go order and I took their order and got it ready and I don’t know what happened but, when they came to pay the bill the woman said, “Tee, you’re a blessing.”

I looked at her confused and she repeated herself, “You’re a blessing.” Then she handed me a FAT ASS TIP! I started crying because this is not my career path yet, people tell me all the time they they are blessed to meet me.

It’s not like I sit down with them at their table and share my life story or even say ANYTHINg about my project or the work I do for women. I don’t tell them about that at all yet- they STILL tip me well and tell me how much they appreciate meeting me.

It was like that at my last restaurant too, and the one before that. And I’m not perfect. I’m not the best server I know. I won’t do this for the rest of my life so I don’t try to be the greatest or compete with anyone yet, these people bless me so much.

Maybe it’s just what my friend said the other day. She said I needed my blessings to come in this way because I have no one in my life to help me.

Maybe that’s it. Well, I’m not sure if I believe in God anymore. I mean, it doesn’t HURT to believe in God, but I think of God as a SHE now, anyway, it doesn’t hurt so I’ll believe and I am grateful for HER because whoever is whispering in these people’s ears and telling them to bless me is alright with me.
