Day 330: Grace In Small Things

January 14, 2010
Comment?
  • Turning what would have ended as a “frumpy day” into something entirely different by simply getting out of the house.
  • Getting a glimpse into how stereotypical “normal” females feel; i.e., the joys of retail therapy. I’m not, and god-willing, will never be a shopper (except when it comes to groceries) but I think I finally get why women go to the mall and try on clothes when they’re in need of “retail therapy”.
  • Public transit. Sorry – but taking it every day still doesn’t deter me from loving it.
  • Strangers who take a leap of faith and offer to share their umbrella to the girl in the hoodie standing in the pouring rain waiting for the bus. I love random kindness – and we ended up having a nice conversation in the process. Strangers are friends you just haven’t met yet. :)
  • Buying the most ultra-awesome pair of black, angora-like legwarmers that go up mid-thigh. They were super cheap ($7!) too.

Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in Grace In Small Things.
