Supermarket Employee and Jen

On her way home, Jen sometimes stops by the supermarket near her house in the evening to buy fruit. During this time, the supermarket is usually quiet, and only one employee is working. This employee often appears sad and seems to have a lot on her mind.
Each time, when paying, Jen has a small conversation with her.

Jen: Hope everything is going well for you...
Supermarket Employee: Not really, I'm so sad. Everything feels like it's on me...

She continues to share her thoughts, and Jen just listens. Jen then says goodbye and wishes her to feel better soon.
Over the past month, they’ve had this conversation about three times. Last week, Jen met her again, but this time the supermarket was busier than usual.

Supermarket Employee: Hello, how are you?
Jen: Hello, you seem happy today...
Supermarket Employee: Yes, I am happier now. No more complaining or blaming...
Jen: Congratulations, I can see the joy and freshness in you...
Supermarket Employee: Thanks to you, for listening to me complain and encouraging me...

Sometimes, just listening to someone can make a meaningful contribution to their life. We don’t need to expect anything in return. When we act naturally, everything flows naturally.

A great, meaningful week for us!
