I am up and cant sleep again....reminissing about my slow 13 mile run today, and noting all I felt and what I noticed while taking time to smell the roses....There are two types of people in general. There are those who are smiling inside and out, saying hi, shooting a wave, making someone else smile...today I ran by 9th St wellness where Karen waved to me from her Desk with a smile, I waved and smile back. A block further a man stopped me to ask me if I was the trainer that used to work with a group in the park while he coached football, he was busy with his kids who all smiled. A block further and a car beeped and a neighbor waved and I waved and smiled back. A few blocks further a teenage boy listening to music said, keep smiling youre beautiful I said thanks, youre awesome! .....I hit the trail and an elderly couple smiled and I said morning! ....I could continue but point is some people are just happy and spread happiness through-out the day. Then there are the other type of people, I watched an agitated driver beep and flip off another vehicle over the Mason St. bridge, and a man walking across the road yelling at his son for not being fast enough. A bit further a woman screamed out her window vulger words at the car next to her. These people are unhappy folks who take out their unhappiness on others to make themselves feel better....I wish somehow these people could feel what happiness is, I think tonight my prayers will be so all those hearts that are laden with self-hatred may feel some of the light that shines from those around them and over time be warmed by the happiness and peace it brings, and find Love within for themselves and others. And think about if every teen age girl heard she was beautiful from a stranger daily, she would quit comparing herself to skinny photo-shopped models on magazine covers and have self esteem...and if every teenage boy heard he was awesome daily from a stranger he would think before creating havoc or being destructive to get noticed instead doing good deeds....imagine the better place this world could be!
