Win anyone over!

I remember going to my mother's shop and watching her work. The owners would let me run around, sweep hair and fold towels on a Saturday. While I am sure the work was to keep me out of trouble, I loved just listening and watching my mom be the light of the room. She always made everyone feel welcomed and could talk to anyone. The shops owner always told mom that she wanted to have my mom's work station right next to hers because she always made everyone happy or laughing....This one time I came to visit my mother during her physical therapy for her knee replacement. I was told she was not in her room but still working out....as I turned the corner, I could hear her from down the hallway. There was mom standing at the top of this make shift stair platform giving her "Thank you" speech as she was just elected President, to a room full of recovery patients laughing and smiling.
