A week or so ago I put on Facebook something along the lines of, you should never underestimate the power of being nice to someone because you never know how a simple hello can make some ones day. What people may not have known is that day was just kind of a blah day for me, one of those days you just ain't feeling it, and I was riding around and stopped to get me something to eat. Granted, I know it's nothing out of the norm for people to make small talk and all that. Anyway, I was paying for my stuff and the person asked, 'How is your day going so far?' It was such a simple question and the person had probably asked everyone they had seen so far that day but something about them asking it with a smile just made me feel a little better. It's like those moments if you're waiting in the doctor's office or just going through a store and a stranger will smile at you. I guess part of it is knowing there is kindness and good still out there and people do care.
Now for a couple of other things that don't really go with previous statement but I don't want to make other posts for them. A couple of nights ago I was on my way back home kind of late and about half way home I started getting to that point where you feel like you are not getting anywhere even though the speedometer is showing your trekking along. I should also mention I was getting slap happy at this point because I was getting tired. So I had the window down, music up...and I don't know why people can't be around when this happens so they could see I can talk a lot, not to mention can't carry a tune if my life depended on it. After a few minutes of all that though I got bored and was riding along in silence when suddenly I thought letting out a 'Whoo!' would help. Wonder if anyone else ever just has an urge to go 'Whoo!' If not you should try it sometime :) I'm not sure what the point of all that was except maybe don't take it all to serious and everyone in awhile just let out a holler, it's amazing how much better it can make you feel.
If you're still reading this, I'm shocked and I guess I'll go ahead and write my last little random thing. Where I live no matter where your going to drive to eventually you're going to pass a field with cows in it Nothing special about that but my odd sense of humor has always found cows funny because they seem like they are in such deep thought. This past Sunday morning I was driving along and in a particular field there was two cows standing beside each other with their heads down really close like they was in deep conversation. For some unknown reason it cracked me up and my first thought was they look like they are gossiping and trying to act like they are eating. I bet they are having a conversation something along the lines of
'Quick Betty act like you're eating too because you will not believe who I saw coming out of the back field early this morning trying to sneak back without being seen'
'Oh, Sue, you better not be telling me it's who I think it is.'
'Betty you know it is, I just knew you couldn't trust her.'
I guess you just had to be there but I cracked myself up. Don't judge me, I have to do something to keep my five seconds of attention spans while I'm driving!! Vacation-itis has definitely set in because I took time to write all of that just to not have to work as much.
