I went off course somewhere. Yesterday’s post about the balloon festival had me reading through old posts on this blog. The good, the bad, the silly, the serious, the long, the short, the sad and the happy.
Frankly, I found it very entertaining. I miss that kinda random blogging. Cuz it wasn’t random. It was just me.
So, this morning I dropped my little one off at camp. While heading back down the long empty hallway I saw a dad walking towards me with his two kids. I thought I knew him so I smiled and waved and asked “how’s it going?” And as the words left my mouth I realized he wasn’t who I thought he was and he was, in fact, a complete stranger.
So without taking a breath I continued “you are not who I thought you were!”
And he replied “well I saw this beautiful smile headed my way and I thought “that’s a nice way to start the day!” …and it didn’t come off sleazy or pick-uppy at all.
So I laughed and said Good Morning and kept walking.
Feels good. Like I brightened his Monday morning with a smile and happy hello.
When he walked back to his car and saw me typing this in the parking lot he flashed me a smile and told me to have a nice day.
It’s Monday people.
Go give a stranger a happy Monday smile and start both of your weeks off on a muchy note!
Here’s one I took just for you! Lol.
