Spends the last hour staring at the clock and then finally heads home feeling drained Sounds like a dull day, right? Well Gerry failed to see the old man that gave up his seat for him on the train He failed to see the email from his boss thanking him for his efforts And he failed to see the friendly smile that a stranger gave him on his way home When each day is the same as the next it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.
