update on love for no reason at all

(a few of my favorite things: french press coffee on the
front porch on a summer morning, hawaiian prayer
flags, banana, and purple clematis...oh, yeah--and sun)

If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.

At the butcher counter this evening, after preparing our purchase, the man behind the counter said, "Have a blessed weekend."

At the deli counter, the man who weighed my order called me "dear."

I went to the check stand to claim my bottle deposit refund. "I have 137 bottles," I said.

"Oh, thank you for counting them! I could just hug you."

"Okay."

"Really?" said the checker in high pitched disbelief. "I really needed a hug."

So we did.

I guess what goes around comes around.

I have goosebumps now.

Thank you.

(and Hawaiian prayer flags? Never knew they existed - have to look for them the next time I'm there!)
