Thank God for happy Ladies

Today I was standing on the sidewalk waiting to cross, and I looked to my left towards pita pit, and this little old lady was running across the street...pretty well, I must add. So, I smiled and thought to myself, "awe, that's cute.". Two seconds later, I felt cold bifocals on my cheek and a little voice saying,"I'm 88 years old today!" I was being embrased by a senior citizen, a total stranger. She kept talking about how great life is and how happy she was that she could still use her legs and enjoy her beautiful birthday weather. We walked about 50 more steps, she told me to have a good life and to not take it for granted, then bounced into the bank.


What an amazing women. I hope I turn out like her in 69 years; still cheerful, still giving hugs, still loving life the most I can, and still freakin' out whenever it's my birthday.
