i launched on to the ramp yet again today on 880 south and this time i was looking for my new friend who stands alongside the highway. with his eyes worn with life, and his wrinkles lightly carved into his face, he stood there with a cardboard sign, and still he had hope, a glimmer in his eyes that someone somwhere might care...not knowing what i would have for him today, i just pulled out what i had from the insides of my lime green wallet. it wasn't much but it was a dollar, and as i automatically rolled down my window and greeted my old friend, i gave him the dollar and i gave him my smile. i then, gleefully added, "happy valentine's day." he smiled back and pointed to me with a grin saying something i didn't really hear very well since i had my radio tunes blaring too loudly in the car! Lol! however, the words we exchanged mattered less than the expressions we saw reflected on each others' faces. i knew one thing though- that when we both connected in a shared moment of fully extended smiles, that meant more than the small token i had reached out to give him in the first place. today, i found my valentine and I hope you found yours too! :)
happy valentine's day! :)
