Acceptance....

This topic comes up from time to time as I like to share some
experiences that I have. Today went to the allergy doctor to get my
monthly shot. They've met Heather before so it's no big deal really.
Today as the girl was confirming the info, she read the name on the
vials "Joe". The office manager pokes her head around the corner and
says, "No, it's Heather today. Get it right..." The girl giving me the
shot kind of smiled and said, "Right, Heather.. Sorry about that
Heather." as she winked at me.

Now, that is what it means to be accepted. They know who I am and could
easily have insisted on calling me Joe, but they did not. The office
manager also made it a point to actually remember my name and kid the
nurse about it.
