You never know when you going to run into someone. I had to go out to the pharmacy over the weekend, a quick stop to grab some items. No one would see me, I’d be in and out. So I decided not to wear makeup for the first time in a year. Mind you, this is not me. I am always in makeup, even for the gym. I’d chance it. I scrambled through the Niceville FL Walgreens to get my stuff in a hurry and would make my escape. As I was in the checkout line almost done, something possessed me to turn around. Uh oh! I knew her! (You know that moment where you can make a decision and just turn and leave?) I went for it.
“Susie?” This was a client I hadn’t seen in over ten years! Her name just welled up in me when I registered her face. I asked how she was. I remembered she worked at a gym, Bluewater Fitness, and asked if she was still there. “Yes”! I told her I was going to rejoin soon. Big smiles.
There was a man close to her, so I guessed it was her husband, whom I did not recognize one bit. I blurted out his name, Todd, without stopping my brain to ask if it was correct. It was correct. (Thank goodness!) More big smiles.
I remembered the house I sold them and asked if they still had the landscape island in the back yard? They told me they had just wiped it out and were putting in a pool. They had thought about selling, but didn’t know where they could go that would be better. Happy smiles. Then I asked Susie about her father, John, whom I also knew years ago. I asked if he still rode his bike a lot? Yes. More updates came. Grins from ear to ear.
I went out to my car, happy for the chance meeting. Happy that I overcame my fear, and my deciding to go for it. Then I looked in the rearview mirror at my makeup-less face. It wasn’t that bad.
