Its been a rough week. A very rough week. So rough that at the insistence of a few close friends, we decided to take an afternoon off for self-care...and even that was a hard decision given the amount of PTSD that were under. So, we jumped in the car and headed out to catch Chris Nolans Interstellar, trusting Mr. Nolan again and understanding he hasnt made a misstep yet! Once we got near the multiplex, we checked the times again and found we had an hour to spare and decided to grab a cheap lunch. The taco place had the AC ON? so we turned around, back to where wed parked. A family was boarding into a car next to where wed parked and their young daughter, a Hispanic girl of 4 or 5 noticed us and smiled, followed by a laugh. Her Dad asked, Are you Patch Adams? Today I am and she can be too :) Nose goes out, big smiles and more laughs...and already Im feeling better. As we leave the lot, the girl kept laughing and waving and we read her lips saying, Thank you! No, thank you. We landed across the road at a burger shack and upon leaving the car and walking to the entry, a couple of women were coming our way. One of them quips, Hey, youre Tex Allen! Yes I am, Hi! And who are you? Im Jenna, weve been friends on Facebook but weve never met... And then she proceeds to tell her friend about the Nose and how its become a movement. Wow. Cat and I also tell her the origin story and thats when I hand them Noses. Thats when they squee and plop them on and she tells her pal, Now he takes a picture :) I gotta tell you, already I was feeling even better. Love seemed to be an invite recursive engine right then. While this was happening, I noticed a black SUV coming up alongside the scene and slowing down, window open. Whos in charge of this party with the Noses? Where do I get one? The driver was a handsome gentleman and his beautiful wife was hanging a bit over him to inquire too. And who are you sir? My name is Kevin :) Thats when his wife quipped with a smile, He must be the President of this clown club...like Obama! OH.SNAP Hi, my name is Tex, nice to meet you two...and Im not Obama but they do call me White Chocolate...because thats how we do... That got them rollin! In short order, they too had heard the story wed just told and were wearing Noses and agreeing with all of us: It just makes people happy, together :) We left shortly after that, having put out just a little more love today, 5 #lovebombs worth in fact. Every day can be a struggle, but sometimes hope peeks through the fabric and lets you know theres still some light out there waiting for you. #onejoy
