I found myself collecting moments today. I like to envision that each one is like a small charm or trinket that I can affix to a beautiful memory ribbon. When I need the lift, I can pull out my moments and relive them for a good, swift, kick in the pants. You know, we all need a bit of inspiration now and again.
Today’s moments that brought me many smiles, include, yet are not limited to:
The kind elderly Lady...that passed me on laps 1-4 at the park…all 4 ft. of her, in her black knee length skirt, red sports coat, and fuzzy black house slipper boots. Her long silver braids wrapped across the top of her head, wearing large superstar sunglasses, which did in no way hide her smiling eyes. I noted her thick Asian accent as she greeted me each time we passed: 1st lap “It’s a beautiful day!” 2nd lap ”You’re still walking!” 3rd lap ”Good to see you again!” and lap 4 “Will see you tomorrow?”
The small Scottie dog...that tried to follow me as I rushed past on laps 3-4. As I would approach the bench where the dog was waiting, her owner would allow the dog to follow me as far as her leash would stretch, and then I would hear the owner say quietly “No, you can’t go home with her. You already have a home. Stay here with me.”
The Toddler...that upon hearing my approach laps 3-5 (A big THANK YOU to my Cardio Trainer and MP3 player apps, Taylor Swift, Mumford & Sons, Sugarland and Sara Bareilles for the tunes) would step out into my path and dance until her Momma would pull her back out of my way. It had me seriously consider joining her in the dance...
The heavy smell of honeysuckle... on laps 1-5 as I passed over the shady bridge…wish reading came with smell. I hope you can all call it into memory right now…so very good:)
Blessings my People!
