So I am at the Hyatt Place Panama City (a beautful Hyatt property that I would recommend if you like being on a beautful beach) last night and all day today for a recovery day. When you do long distanvce cycling you need to take a recovery day every 3 or 4 days to let your body reset itself both physically and mentally. I work on the weekend at the Hyatt House in Short Pump Virgina as the breakfast attendent where I get to meet all kinds of interesting people. In my role as the breakfast attendent I help people make fresh waffles with all the good toppings (rainbow sprinkles, white chocolate, fruit toppings, and whipped cream), clear and wipe the tables so each guest gets a nice clean place to eat, restock the food juices & milk, brew coffee, talk NFL football (everyone knows I am a saints fan because I wear my jersey) and help with any special requests / needs for any of our guests, My job is all about customer service and I take a lot of pride in trying to exceed our guest expectations. Well this morning the shoe was on the other foot as I am the guest. As I ate breakfast I watched Chantel do what I usually do (except I am off 2 weekends in a row for the Tour de five guys)! The weekend breakfast can be very busy and she was very impressive in how she kept things going! I had a chance to meet her and let her know how impressed I was. I know how much it means to me when people recognize the effort I put into my work so I wanted let Chantel know and I will let her management here at Hyatt know as well. A KIND word can go a long way and you never know how it might change a person's day for the better! Below is another song by Jason Gray called "Be Kind". The words are particularly relevant in a time when there is a lot of uglieness out there in the world!

Some guy cuts into my laneAnger like an explosionI'm mad and make sure he knows itBut I don't know what he's been throughThe family he's trying to get to

That's when the Spirit inside meReminds me

To be kind'Cause everyone you meetIs fighting their own battleFighting their own battleSo, be kind'Cause everyone you seeNeeds to know they matterThey need to know they matter (need to know they matter)So be kindKind

Long line, just trying to check outBehind me a kid starts to act outFirst thought, this kid wasn't raised rightNext thought, I wonder what their home's likeThen I see she's a single motherJust trying to hold it all togetherShe'd break down if she could afford to

It wouldn't cost me any more

To be kind'Cause everyone you meetIs fighting their own battleFighting their own battleSo be kind'Cause everyone you seeNeeds to know they matterThey need to know they matter (need to know they matter)So be kindKindBe, be kind (woah)Be, be kind
