Today was a bit up and down, but it ended on just about the highest note it possibly could have. I went to the gym this morning, which is really just code for "I found a quiet place where no one would bother me to read Harry Potter, and was coincidentally exercising at the same time." So that was good. Then I went to work. I had just missed a call from Scott, who left a cute message just to tell me something that I had asked him about yesterday, which he couldn't recall, and that he had finally remembered! It was a rather insignificant piece of information that I had totally forgotten about, which made it that much better! So I got to work, which I am loving - I love entertaining and interacting with people all day! Most of today was good. And near the end of the day three women came in. They were just visiting Freeport and had just arrived from Ohio. They weren't looking for anything special but one of them bought something, which got us chatting. We were talking about the heat, and I said I'm used to it since I just moved up here from North Carolina. To which she responded, "My son lives down there!" "Where does he live?" "Oh you won't know of it, he lives in Carrboro." I just laughed at first and then said, "I just moved from there!" She was shocked! She told me who were son was, and it just so happens that I went to high school with her grandson! Gah! I LOVE SMALL WORLD MOMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!! They're my favorite. I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the afternoon. Then the server on the cash registers crashed - for the SECOND time today - while I was closing the store. That brought the day's score down a few points. HOWEVERRRRRR - as I opened the door to leave I heard bagpipe music playing in the distance! (Important to Note: I LOVE bagpipe music.) It didn't sound too far away, and as I was driving I saw the group behind the fire station! I stopped and listened for a while and it was absolutely perfect! It gave me goosebumps all over my body and I couldn't stop smiling! I must have looked like a crazy person! And even more so as I drove home, windows open, jamming away to celtic music!!!
Ahh, the little things in life that make me so grateful for everything I have. It must be where the phrase "high on life" came from.
