Sometimes life seems like a movie, and often the unexpected happens.....today while on the path, a guy ran past me. That certainly isn't unexpected......but he had on work pants, not shorts, and an undershirt, and was carrying what appeared to be his shirt. No running shoes either, but what looked like work boots.

So needless to say I was a little nervous about who he was and where he was going, and was glad when he ran past not only me but the woman walking in front of me. Then he slowed and seemed like he was trying to get someone's attention.

As I got closer I realized it was a woman who was walking in the opposite direction from me. They talked for a minute and he gestured back up the path the direction that she was going.

Then the biggest surprise, he wrapped his left arm around her and kissed her for quite a while (she seemed to be fine with this), as they walked back up the path the direction that she was going......so many stories come to mind about what might have been going on......but it was a touching moment with both of them smiling and laughing by the time we passed each other as I continued west, and they headed east.

My little room with a view.....

Another blog writer today mentioned living with a view, and that living with a beautiful view in a small place is better for her than a fancy place with a poor view (my interpretation of her words added)....the irony was that today I had been thinking the same thing....but about my little apartment.....that after almost a year of searching for a place to move to (and buy), that it kept coming back to my view here, and not being able to find something with as therapeutic a view elsewhere. I also realized that the view I have all the time, and it changes with the seasons, the lighting, the weather, the time of day.......and the challenges of apartment living, are temporary, compared to the view......
