One you just have to cherish for its grandness of simplicity.
A day that makes you pause, and think of all the amazing things that take place in a day.
I woke and began the day slow, a nice hot shower. Then I saw an amazing image a friend had taken of me (and found worthy to post to his site) on-line. It made me think how greatly talented people are.
Next, it was off to sip on a cup of joe (or as the baristas know: a small latte with almond flavouring). I relaxed with the warming beverage and read to the end of Dickens "A Christmas Carol," as I ate a cranberry scone. I continued the day sitting and talking with a new friend while I knitted away at a project.
Then on my drive home, I saw a man on the street. A man a friend had told me she had seen just days ago. He was homeless (or merely out on the street for the day), holding one of those card board signs marked in Black Sharpie ink. He was so merry as he danced to and fro with it.
It had one word: SMILE. And smile I did.
Home was a "Girls Night." Or I guess I should say, we came to see it that way.
miss georgia b. dyed my hair black, and we gossipped the time away, pizza from The Pie, and a cheesy movie, followed by more talking.
As she left, I felt chocolate was in order, so I entered the lightly biting air of near winter and walked in the quiet night streets listening to music. A song came on I couldn't quite place, and when I looked to see what it was, I laughed.
Sometimes friends you only know for a short while have sent you things you will cherish for a lifetime. I walked out of the convenience store with my chocolate, humming away to the music, and saw a woman sitting in her car and smiled to her. I walked back home listening to the song over and over again.
Sometimes we just have to pause and remember: We are all here, why not enjoy each others company, even if just for a small encounter.
SMILE everyone :)
