For many
women, getting a manicure-pedicure is a treat.
(For some, of course, it is a must.)
Two friends, both eager to work in mani-pedis before Christmas Eve next
Tuesday, were not having much luck scheduling theirs. One of the friends had been calling her
regular salon for a couple of weeks, but could never get an appointment that
worked for her. Earlier today, the
second friend called the first to ask if she remembered the name of a salon the
two had once tried. In the middle of
some last-minute shopping, the first friend said that she didn't, but that she
would look in her purse for the salon's card.
The first friend looked for the card, but didn't find it, so (without
telling her friend) she drove by the salon to get the name and the number. Parked outside the salon, she called her
friend to give her the information. The
second friend was on her way to an event with her family, so the first friend offered
to make the appointment. In making the
appointment, the first friend learned that this salon would be open on Monday,
so she called her regular salon to ask if by any chance it would be open on
Monday. Yes came the reply and they had
a spot, so she finally made an appointment to get her nails done. A few minutes later as the first friend was
looking through her purse, she found the card from the salon. She
smiled... Had she found the card when
she had first looked, she would have texted her friend the name and telephone
of the salon and that would have been that. But because she drove by the salon and offered
to make the appointment for her friend, she found out about salons' being open
on Monday and she was able to finally get the coveted mani-pedi
appointment. Ah, kindness leads to a
double mission accomplished.
