Images of ourselves

So Saturday it was raining ALL day. In fact, it had been raining for almost two weeks (no sun!) Sarah and I went to Big Lots (yeah, one of our favorite stores) and before that had ordered for pick up Pizza to take home. After our fun shopping at Big Lots we strolled down the way to get our Pizza. Three young men were walking towards us and one (though male) was just like me.

How strange -- I never get to see a mirror image of myself -- So, when I do it is like WOW! So, being that outgoing person that I am who just about talks to everyone I said - oh yes, can we chat? So, life history - tons of questions and his experience was identical mine - what are the odds. He is 18 - I am 50.

We walked (well - walking for us) into the Pizza Joint and Sarah and I got our Pizza and I gave him my contact information and said let me know if I can ever do anything. As he went away I glanced up to watch him and he glanced back.

The whole thing was so serene.

As he went away - I thought there goes "my past." (I have made it, look where I started)
and as he turned and we caught eyes - I was thinking that his thought was probaly
there is "my future" - hope for what is yet to come
