I spent the day talking with someone wonderful, not to mention a sincere and true friend. We were discussing Life in general, how much we have learned over the years, and how much we appreciate what we once took for granted. I was touched that he thought I was a huge influence on his own depth and realizations. To say I learned a lot from him as well would be an understatement. Gratitude.
Like begets like, and so the gratitude within me became even greater….lovely.
I also spoke with someone I haven’t seen in years. She was with her son, who is now 2 ½. There was something in her eyes and smile, and I could tell she was very happy from the inside out. She was beautiful, from the inside out. It was very touching, and I liked her presence. Motherhood.
Next, I ran into a former customer who was, after all these years, still coming into the Diner after his Karate session, having his coffee, chatting with his friends, and then heading on with his day happy as a clam. Simplicity.
I went to my first college game at Heinz Field. I was kept very busy watching all the different groups – the Cheerleaders, the Dance Team, the Band, the Student Fans, the Older Fans, the Security, the Vendors, and of course the Players. Everyone was doing their own part to make the game culture what it is. I was thoroughly entertained watching this dynamic. The Plays on the field were just a part of the bigger picture that we miss when at home on our couch. Energy.
Later, when at Lowe’s carrying Maddox, he and I laughed at each other, just for the sake of laughing. Forehead to forehead at times, laughing harder at each other as we both continued to laugh. What an amazing feeling. Love.
Basically I floated in a mist of positive emotions the whole day. Hmmm…that is exactly what it was….A Whole Day.
