I had a delightful conversation with a new security guard in my building. He was glad to see some warm weather for a change and on a high following an engagement photo session this past weekend. He is anxiously awaiting his wedding day this summer, and thrilled to be planning the celebrations alongside his beautiful fiance.
When I went to the gym on my lunch break, the student worker behind the check-out counter was handing out encouraging words to patrons. Having convinced myself to get to the gym for a quick run, yet still hesitant that a 25 minute work-out would actually be worth it, this was the exact motivation I needed. I was officially bursting with energy and excited to hop on the treadmill.
After work, I headed to grad class a bit early. I sat down near a classmate, and we chatted about the assignment due, the upcoming quiz, and the class in general. We joked around a bit and simply enjoyed each other's company. What a lovely way to pass the time before a lengthy 2 1/2 hour class.
Following class, I raced to the subway so that I could meet up with my Mom and Nan downtown. As luck would have it--and it usually does--I missed the train by approximately seven seconds. A fellow commuter came up right behind me with a funny comment about how "it always happens to him, too!" While we waited the few minutes for the next train, we swapped stories about how Murphy's Law has played a role in each of our lives.
When I finally arrived at Nan's building, I was greeted by an extremely friendly doorman. He is familiar with our family, and made sure to comment how lovely we all are. When he phoned Nan to let her know I had arrived, he referred to me as her "wonderful granddaughter." If that's not the sweetest thing, I don't know what is.
