\"\"<\/a>Since 9-11, our country has gotten used to a message of fear.\u00a0 In a wide range of venues, everyone is asked to be vigilant about noticing backpacks or briefcases or shopping bags that might contain something unexpected and nefarious.<\/p>\n

SEE SOMETHING\u00a0 —\u00a0 SAY SOMETHING is the motto that\u2019s featured on posters in many public spaces.<\/p>\n

I had a very different See Something \u2013 Say Something\u00a0<\/strong>experience just last week.\u00a0 It\u2019s worth as much \u2013 no, a lot more — attention.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, I was heading downtown for an afternoon matinee at the Lyric Opera.\u00a0 I got passes for dress rehearsal for Cinderella (Cendrillon) as a birthday gift from my sister, Barbara.<\/p>\n

I love going to dress rehearsals because, like me, most people in the audience are gifted their tickets from friends or family who are subscribers.\u00a0 They fill the beautiful, gold ceilinged auditorium with the energy of appreciation.<\/p>\n

It snowed just a couple days earlier and then the temperature dropped dramatically. Ice was everywhere and navigating even small stretches by foot was dangerous.<\/p>\n

When I made it to the commuter train platform to head to the Civic Opera House downtown, I remembered muttering to myself that I would not run after a train. \u00a0Rather than run the risk of slipping, if a train pulled in while I was moving through the turnstile, I was prepared to just wait for the next one.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I didn\u2019t have to make such a decision. After stepping up to the platform, which was very much exposed to the cold and wind, I moved forward slowly to a good spot for boarding.<\/p>\n

I noticed that the south side of the wooden platform was cleared of ice but a thick, bumpy layer of ice covered the north side of the platform.<\/p>\n

CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) workmen, wearing their outdoor work gear and orange and yellow vests, armed with spades and small shovels, were making stabbing thrusts into the frozen side of the tracks.<\/p>\n

They were loud!\u00a0 The wooden platform seemed to shake underneath them, but even when a swatch of ice stubbornly refused to break down under their initial efforts, they didn\u2019t give up.\u00a0 They were determined to make the walkway safer for passengers to navigate.<\/p>\n

I walked up to one workman.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t have snot running down his nose or anything, but he wore a look of cold discomfort and unconscious concentration.\u00a0 I said,<\/p>\n

Thank you.\u00a0 Thank you for breaking and clearing the ice.\u00a0 Thank you for making it safe for me to walk on this platform.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He blinked in surprise.\u00a0 Then he broke into a smile.\u00a0 He said,<\/p>\n

No one\u2019s ever thanked me for this before\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As if to get over what was close to displaying emotion, he resumed efforts with his spade, repeatedly pounding the sharp metal edge into the ice.<\/p>\n

Jokingly, I asked him if the action was a new type of anger therapy.<\/p>\n

He laughed. \u00a0A few of his workmates came over to see what we were talking about.<\/p>\n

I asked them if I could take a picture of them with my cell phone.\u00a0 I explained that I kept a blog of things I was grateful for.<\/p>\n

As if the supper bell just rang in the firehouse, all the workers gathered around my withdrawn cell phone and started posing.<\/p>\n

No, no,<\/em><\/strong> I insisted.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t a group selfie.\u00a0 Go back to breaking up the ice.\u00a0 Pretend<\/u> you\u2019re working.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We all laughed.<\/p>\n

We acted like we were friends.\u00a0 A relationship was started because I noticed something small and said THANK YOU.<\/p>\n

Noticing an act of kindness, or extra effort, or genuine empathy, no matter how routine or outwardly insignificant \u2013 then saying that you noticed and are grateful \u2013 is no small thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
