Meeting and Greeting

Last Tuesday (November 27) I saw, what to me was, an incredible sight. An elderly gentleman, small and skinny, was pushing his grocery cart while keeping his wood crutches, both of them, moving forward. He had only one leg yet he had a perfect rhythm and smoothness.

I watched a second incredible event; I saw a deaf man having a cell-phone conversation. He had video contact with the other person using sign language over the phone. Pretty awesome (to me).

Wow, how today’s technology has opened up the world (and yet still gives us many headaches and aggravations).

Today, (we all know this, however) give a stranger an opportunity, an opening for a conversation and they love it. They will talk until they have run out of words for the subject that has opened up. There seems to be a great need today to connect with other people through conversation. I say conversation, but mostly I just listen.

I saw many friends and acquaintances today also (individually, at separate times) and handed out lots of hugs. It was a busy day.

Before leaving home it poured down rain, twice. But I missed the beautiful bright rainbow, so I was told by someone who saw it.
