Last night my husband and I were on the way to a show. We were both hungry and
wanted to grab a quick bite on our way there, so we swung through a Jack-In-the-Box-
Drive-thru Restaurant and placed our order.
When we got up to the window the lady smiled at me, which is sometimes rare and
asked how I was doing while she was collecting our money for the food. I replied, "Fine,
and how are you'?"
She went to get our order ready and I asked my husband to pass my "Drive-thru Smile
bag" to me. He handed it to me and watched in amazement as I gathered together a "You
make a difference" paper, including a smile card, a smile stamp and a smile button.
She came back to the window almost before I finished putting it all together. Without
looking too closely she passed the bag and said, "Thank you. Have a good day." I said,
"Wait! This is for you." As I placed the little smile gifts in her hand a smile spread across
her face. As she looked at the items it got a little bigger but when I thanked her for her
smile there was no holding back. She gave the biggest smile and she was laughing. It was
very heartwarming.
My husband was very impressed by it. It made him smile too. It just takes a little effort
to connect in a human way to everyone we have dealings with, even with something as small
as a Drive-thru transaction.
Remember, we all make a difference!

The transition from old fuels to new will be slow, as will the development of new technologies that present feasible alternatives to fossil fuels or help eliminate food and water problems. All current technologies are inadequate, and new ones will probably not be commercially possible by 2025
