It's the Little Things

~~*~~
Today, I had my door opened for me
not once, not twice, but three times,
with the gentleman saying,
"There is no limit to how many doors I can open..."
as I thanked him with a smile.

~~*~~
I began to leave, and they walked in.
Two elderly men with deep dimples and cheerful faces,
who sat next to me as I was getting up.
One touching my arm and saying "don't leave,
stay awhile...I'm buying, what would you like?"

"I don't drink often" I said,
but he insisted and the two kept me
in conversation for over an hour,
wondering when I would finish my first
and let them buy me another.

~~*~~
Walking uphill on a downhill day,
umbrella protecting my thoughts,
I wondered what I did to deserve today.

You didn't have to 'do' anything...just be yourself.
And, isn't it wonderful when something like that happens?

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

I think you must have been visited by angels today, M!  But, you really deserved it if that was the case.

umbrella protecting my thoughts,
I wondered what I did to deserve today

Life gives to us, many many reminders of just how special we are, today...you noticed!
a write filled with smiles which shone so brightly it started my day off right...thank you
