As it should be...

I was hurriedly leaving campus for my car today. I held the door for an older man with his arms full. Once we were both out of the doorway, I passed him politely. Of course, since I was hurrying, it follows that I would meet someone and feel obliged to stop to talk. The man, I hadn't noticed, passed me in the mean time.

Once finished, I continued on my way, once again passing the older man. I commented that I talk too much, implying that I'd get more done if I wasn't so social (a distinctly American/Japanese mindset). He simply said, "That's as it should be."

I was compelled to dwell on these words for the remainder of the walk to my car. Funny how some chance encounters can have such a profound effect on your life.

Happiness

I think with this post, I'll take the chance to copy Mikey and put in a picture of clouds. While I don't want to be a follower or copy-cat, I do admire clouds; so yeah, I'm putting up a cloud picture too!! And if you don't like it, then that's fine, that's fine with me!!!

This picture of Happiness is for Jessica Schalk!!
