Different

He looked at me and said he just saw things differently than others did. I asked him how. He said he just did. He said he saw a bigger picture. He saw a larger story. He saw the beauty in the ordinary. He said he even “felt” time. I inquired as to “felt” meaning what. […]

Gifts come in strange packages. We just have to be open to them. I missed my connecting flight from Denver to Birmingham. The Dallas connection didn’t happen by 1 minute. So the 8 pm flight is the flight to catch. 4 hours. Okay…4 hours. Wine, dinner, music, and people watching. A Sunday of watching the […]
