random moments that are rarely random

last night i was walking downtown, and i saw this little boy with a plastic bag tied to a string...he was running in and out of doorways with it trailing behind him...and he had the biggest blue eyes i have ever seen...i asked him what he was doing, and he said he was trying to make it fly. He said he couldn't seem to run fast enough, and he was too short to get it off the ground....he handed it to me, and asked me to try...so i ran around the sidewalk at midnight with a plastic grocery bag attached to a string, finally managed to get it airborne, and he clapped and gave me this smile that melted my heart.....

then, i was walking, and it was extremely windy....all these leaves were caught up in this mini whirlwind, and it was picking up all these newspapers (so beautiful)...and it was swirling all around me....tiny leaves plastered in my hair, sand in my eyes....and then the newspaper ran smack into my leg, and then it got stuck in my flip flop, and i could not stop laughing and smiling...b/c life is like that. :-)

i was on the bus today, staring out the window (b/c i love to people watch), and this other bus pulled up along side us, and i caught the eye of this 80 year old man, and got a very naughty wink from him....it made my day. Very romantic.

life is certainly like that.
