Mmmm Mmmmm

3 days down... maybe I will quit counting. I am just as surprised as you that I could go three full days without eating meat OR sugary/candy crap. I don't have a problem with the latter one but normally if i commit to not eat something, regardless of I eat it regularly or not, all I want to do is shove that particular forbidden item in my mouth. Alas, I am free of that desire right now. I actually just got done eating the most delightful veggie patty!! You almost wouldn't know it wasn't meat and it tastes SO much better! Who knew eating healthy could be so delightful?

I am sorry but November is a big month for me and if I am going to blog everyday you might be hearing a lot about this. Sorry!

So... today I was crossing the street and a mom and her little daughter (probably about 3 years old or so) were going to cross my path as we walked to opposite sides of the street. I wasn't really paying attention to them but then I heard this child say something extremely loud and point at me and smile. What did she say you ask? I LOVE your pretty shoes!( i was wearing red high heels) HaHa. I don't know why that touched me so much! I love children and their honesty and their desire to express themselves. I was walking with a co worker and as I turned to smile and wave at the little girl I only envisioned her turning into her mom, or even worse, me. A snarly old woman who tries not to pay attention to those around them because it is not polite. Adults avoid eye contact and conversation at all costs. A chatty elevator with coworkers will get extremely quiet when picking up new riders and everyone looks up, down at their shoes, their watch,very sternly at the numbers....anywhere but at someone else. Heaven forbid we should smile at one another and maybe say, " I LOVE your pretty shoes!" I am grateful for children.
