As time goes on I often begin to notice people's quirks. Carol wears the same earrings every time I see her - Shannon is always wearing a t-shirt with a pony tail - Linda always talks about her family's agenda for the week - Lukas loves to use his eyebrows - the Asian man at the doughnut store always tries to find someway to make a laughable joke. This morning he asked if I just wanted water because I normally get my mother a tea. I explained that she had just had surgery this morning and was bed ridden. Oral surgery. He laughed and said she has to stay pretty like you! Followed by more of his pleaseant laughter. One of my favorite things to say has come to be? "Life is a funny thing." And as Forrest Gump would say, "that's all I have to say about that." (Please tell me you read that with his Southern accent!) Anyway, when it gets down to it, life moves along, people are people and we are all unique. To this I say, slow down and notice what's around ...
