The other day I was standing on line waiting to purchase my groceries at Trader Joe's I had options in how I could utilize my time waiting. One, I could have stared at the screen on my Iphone. Two, I could have allowed my mind to wonder about with various thoughts. Or three, I could have engaged in a conversation with a complete stranger.
I choose number three and glad I did. Behind me was an elderly lady in her 70's with blue eyes and blond-white hair. We started chatting about what items we purchased and how we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. She then began expressing HOW INTERESTING and FUN LIFE IS. She told me quick stories of how she has done everything in her life that she's ever wanted to do, including flying a plane and traveling all over the world.
"Life is so much fun, it's so interesting, isn't it? I think so. I love all of it, even the challenging moments can bring joy and interest. Many people walk around with fear and miss out. People need to stop being so afraid." ~ Lady from Trader Joe's
Valuable messages while waiting on line.
