At Lunch

This is part of a conversation I overheard at lunch today:

Her: We would be so good together.
Him: It's just that I don't want a girlfriend right now.
Her: Yeah, but, we have so much fun together. I'll be good. I'll be fun.
Him: Well, I'm trying to figure things out with--
Her: But, I'm the one here with you today not her. And, all your friends like me. We could be one big group hanging out doing fun things.
Him: Did I tell you, I'm going to see my parents this weekend. They're coming out to see me.
Her: *reaching over to touch his arm * I love your parents, and I would get along with them. I want us to have what they have.

Kindness

I have been told that the smallest act of kindness can make a difference to someone.

Listening

Friday Afternoon

The Old & The New

It's Good To Be Me

It's good to be me because, while on a trip to San Francisco, this talented gentleman serenaded me.

Window

Out of all the people in our office,

I think I have the best view because:

I have a breathtaking view of Mt. Wilson

In the Summer, it glows under the afternoon sun

and

In the Winter, its peaks are often capped in snow.

I also have the perfect view of the Colorado Street Bridge

I love its old-world charm

complete with old-fashion street lights.

I love it so much that I've used it as a backdrop for a few photos.

This morning something horrible happened

the act was so horrible that it has tarnished my beautiful view.

A man jumped to his death from the bridge

but not before killing his wife and mother-in-law.
