Gosh, I had a satisfied Warm and Fuzzy feeling at the end of the day yesterday. Why? Well, just a few things....
* I spoke with Loucine on the phone for the first time yesterday!!! Yep, just dialed her up and she picked up the phone.
Wow!! My goodness, her voice is delightfully soft and feminine with a charming European/French accent. She speaks English clear as day and is nice to chat with. We talked about the miracle of Agelesslove and about the craziness of life and love.
At one point, her little boy interrupted, and then I could hear her talking to him in French really fast. It was soooo cute. :) It was really quite delightful. I was a bit sad to say "Goodbye."
* I had a nice online chat with Cherubino. We are both future lawyers; she's already in school, and I'm still waiting for an acceptance letter. She was very kind, and wanted to check on me and see how things were going. I griped a little about an obstacle; she was sympathetic.
* I went to the local dump to get rid of some refuse, including an old crappy workbench. I had the pickup backed up to the giant trash container, and while I was next to the tailgate, I paused for a moment to look at the junk and see how to best move it out....
And the guy parked next to me in his own pickup saw me and said "Need a hand with that?" I thanked him and told him no. He thought I might be in a jam and need help with a big workbench.
I call that "West Coast love." Out here, it's fairly normal for perfect strangers to offer unsolicited help to one another. Hold swinging doors open at the supermarket.... pause in traffic to let people pull out of driveways and cross to the far side of the road.... That kinda thing. Nice! Makes your community a great place to live in. :cool:
So, it was a nice "Warm & Fuzzy" day. How about y'all? Did you have any nice stuff happen to you? Some "Good Karma" stuff?
