My good friends (old California neighbors) just left this morning and I so very much enjoyed their visit... but now I'm trying to get back in touch with life and I feel like I'm running on a treadmill... I know I'm movin, but don't feel like I'm getting anywhere!
I have several clients wondering about Christmas cards and session previews. My son has an ailing goldfish he won at the school carnival Friday. Oh joy. I don't think my kids brushed their teeth all weekend since I wasn't really around to remind them 800 times. The spinach in the fridge went soggy. The dog is wondering WHY I haven't walked her in 3 days. My plants look thirsty. And oh yeah, the worst... we have a Halloween party in FOUR days and my kids still don't have costumes! EEK. I feel like SUCH a slacker!
That's okay though... just get in line people... I'll answer your emails one by one, will get your orders done, will rework your custom Christmas card for the 5th time... I promise! No worries!!! LOL! Just don't think I'm ignoring you cause I'm not! I'm back!!!! :D
Okay, and now for my happy thought of the day (cause I'm still quite happy, just overwhelmed!):
My friends and I went to a yummy breakfast this morning and had the most GORGEOUS waitress ever. Anyway, we were sitting there and a homeless man came in the door. He was really REALLY homeless and filthy and smelly and looked like he was pretty much off his rocker. But you know what, our lovely waitress walked right up and greeted him with the same beaming smile she'd given us and invited him to come in and sit. She sat him at his table and said she'd be right back. A few moments later, she brought him the biggest plate of food I've seen in some time. It was piled sky-high with potatoes and sausage and eggs and pancakes, still steaming. He ate quietly and in no rush. The waitress checked on him several times, asking if she could get him anything else.
It absolutely warmed my heart. I applaud her and the restaurant (Spoons, in downtown McKinney) and was so touched that I'm going to write the manager an email and tell him that it totally made my day. I hope that next time I'm put in a position like the waitress this morning that I can handle it with as much grace and beauty and genuine care that she did. She rocked my world this morning. :) YAY for GOOD people!!!!
