As I threw my bag of daily necessities onto my desk this morning, beginning a new work week, I heard a familiar rustle from my coworker's office. She had purchased bags of candy over the weekend and was replenishing the dish that sits on the corner of her desk.
She pays for the candy with her own money, and purposefully buys items she knows certain people enjoy. She likes Riesen, but I know she keeps it stocked in the dish for the times when Rolando is looking for chocolate.
The candy dish, though small and inconspicuous, creates a cheerful and inviting atmosphere for anyone entering her office. With its mystical powers, candy can somehow make even the crappiest circumstances better by simply being offered and tasting really nice.
"Have a piece of candy." A simple, awesome act of kindness.
