Life is All About Attitude.

I'm sure when you think back throughout your life; there are individuals that stick out. They usually stick out because of a great sense of humor, an ability to find the fun in any situation, or maybe because when you needed someone to listen, they did just that. California is definitely the melting pot for all different kinds of people, but Aaron and I were truly blessed to meet a person whose attitude about life is something to be envious of.

Most of us go through our daily activities and life in general with ease. There are bumps along the way, but it's how we react to those annoyances that show our true character. Vinesh, our co-worker and new friend, is someone with amazing character.

Every time that I would see him, he always had a positive attitude. This was even after the day that the receiving clerk told him, "I'm not racist, but... what my friends call people like you is..." too inappropriate to write on my blog. He would tell the story over and over again, laughing, and adding new details, like how the receiving clerk then shared that he enjoyed hunting and owned a gun collection.

He kept a positive attitude the day him and Aaron got stopped at the weigh scales and had to be searched, he made a joke about it and said, "It's because they think I'm a terrorist." When he got pulled over going from California to Nevada and was cited for not having a travel log when he was driving a budget rental truck, he was disappointed, but still all smiles and jokes.

Vinesh is definitely one of the most positive people I know. There were so many things that were said to him and actions taken against him that I think were unjust, but he kept smiling. He is a person we will never forget, and are so happy to call our friend.
