Adult Delinquent

At 7:26am I got in the elevator.  One woman was holding it for the woman walking behind me and I knew that they were both on floors below mine.  I felt put out by having to wait for them.  Then, as the woman behind me entered she said, "Oh wait, Chuck is coming."  So the first woman held the door even longer.  The feeling in me grew.  When the door closed they all began the light-hearted Monday morning talk.  As they got off on their different floors and shared that they both brought their lunch today I realized that the 30 seconds that I may have been delayed was really nothing...and I wasn't put out by them, I was disgusted with myself for even feeling like I had to rush to be anywhere and any specific time.  Their camaraderie filled me with a smile that was needed.
