I WAS tired.
I fell right to sleep.
Then one of those power naps happened and 15 minutes later I was wide awake and my mind was racing.
In fact, here I am still. Mind still running all over the place and not showing signs of slowing down.
I’ve thought about everything. Prayed about many things.
I was thinking about how in town the other day the Gentleman that ran back several steps to hold the door for me saying how sorry he was for letting the door go! Shucks. I didn’t even think I was that close to it yet. And then the guy that smiled so big and said ‘well thank you so much!’ when I waited and let him through the door on my way in.
I thought about the lady I’d never seen, but she thought she knew me and we had a great conversation.
I thought about the girl at the coffee shop that asked “do you ranch?” And then asked how much rain we got and if that would help us. I told her yes and that we were so thankful! She gave me my coffee and told me to have a great day!
I thought about the girl that made me feel important when she used my name when I purchased something from her. She was nice! I think we coulda talked for an hour.
I thought about the lady who blessed me with a gift of Service and the smile on her face when I gave her a coffee I picked up for her to say thank you.
I thought about smiles.
I thought about handshakes. And hugs.
I thought about small towns.
And neighbors.
And strangers who didn’t feel like strangers.
I thought about God. About cows.
I thought about Applesauce. And Grandma.
And I thought about how there’s actually a lot more good out there in the world than we give it credit for.
I wish we talked about the good more. I think we’d all be a lot happier. I think we’d all try to smile at strangers more. And hold the doors. And love and live life to the fullest. If we slowed down a little.
If we talked a little more about the Good.
