Like my shadow
 

A soft fluttering feeling following me around today.

My job today that required a 2 hour commute round trip, but only required about 45 minutes of interpreting, cancelled! Yaya! (It's still billable)

Wahoooooo.

my new Northface jacket arrived today. in the right size :)

I just bought myself new boots, really cute ones, and a new purse. I was told I needed boots for here in the frozen North, she didn't say what kind of boots. She might not be too impressed when she sees them, but I am really happy with them.

there is this woman...
:)

We had to get up really early to get to my doctor's appointment, but we found out it WON'T take forever for my surgery to be scheduled :)

Then we had the rest of the day together. Had a nice lunch while we were in the city.

Even managed to get some stuff done around the house (ie the dump and recycling are DONE diddly and the hard to change ceiling fan bulb is replaced!)

Got heaps (5) more cards in the mail today! :)

Watched a movie we have been long desiring to see (The Iron Lady)

Now fixin' to go get some ice cream and my Honey Bunches of Oats with pecans that I loveeee.

Then watching one of the many football games we didn't get to watch on Sunday!

I love our weekends... <3

Alot made me smile today. A customer buying me, a surprise lunch, and leaving me her phone number with the restaurant. An old lady that cannot afford compression stockings and how
i will take her to lunch later on. Beautiful, day.

And this...

Does a smirk count?
A pained grimace?
A raised eyebrow paired with a quirk of the lips?


If so, I smiled all day.
I think most people in my profession have perfected a fake smile. I can't quite get the hang of it.

What made me smile...

So this older woman rings the bell at the shelter door and I walk down the hall to answer it. There's a glass window on the door and as I am nearing the door her face starts to light up with the sweetest, warmest smile I have seen from a stranger in a long time.

Me: Hi. May I help you?
Lady: (extends an envelope with money to me) This is for the shelter.
Me: (receives said envelope with only the name of the shelter on the front) Thank you.
Lady: (smiling even bigger, as if this was even possible) You are welcome.
Me: (looking eye to eye) Would you like a receipt?
Lady: (voice softens) Oh heavens no. That won't be necessary. Seeing the gratitude in your eyes is receipt enough.
Me: (smiling as big as hers) Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!
Lady: (still looking me in the eyes) Merry Christmas to you too, Dear!

Wow!! Just wow....

I never saw the amount donated but I'm guessing rather generous. :praying:

I smiled at old memories today...
