i saw cute, married rob tonight. he hasn’t been to a meeting in forever, so i’d pretty much given up hope of seeing him until the new year. i turned away for a minute to talk to julie or read my minutes and there was a nudge against my shoulder and a voice which asked “don’t i get a hug?” i spun around, looked at him for a moment and said “no,” he made a face, said “well then…” and started to move away. i grabbed his sleeve and hugged him tightly. i suppose my fortune cookie came true after all.
i was reminded tonight of the total stranger who stopped my mom and i from pulling out of a parking lot only to tell us “you two have the most infectious smiles i’ve ever seen. you’ve made my day.” i was so startled by the spontaneousness (that’s a word, right?) of it all that i wasn’t able to tell her that her stopping to tell us that made my day.
Spontinaity. ;)
(Now, the vocabulary is my department, spelling is yours – so fix that spelling at will!)
what a team!
spontaneity, but spontaneousness is a word too. go figure, you’re both right. ;)
