I woke up this morning. There is an empty feeling that I have had so many times before and it seems to be coming back into my mind. What is it? I can’t figure it out.
I got ready for work. On the way I decided to stop and get a cheese from the little shop just down the road. I have never been there before but I was hungry and it would be 5 hours before I got off work.
The owner of the store took my order. He asked me what I wanted and I told him I heard he made a great cheese. He seemed pleased to hear that.
As I was sitting in the small space there was an elderly man finishing his breakfast. He paid the waitress, received his change and made a small joke. As he returned to get up, but it was quite difficult for this man, he looked over at me. I gave a small smile.
He looked again in my direction for a moment and said to me, “Has anyone told you, you have the most beautiful blue eyes?”
Seeing as I have blue eyes, I can’t say I have ever heard that before. I humored him and said, “No, I can’t say ever told me that before.”
He smiled and said, “Since they are blue, you wouldn’t have heard that, but you have beautiful blue eyes.”
I laughed and said thank you very much. He began to tell me a few one liner jokes so I smiled and laughed at his jokes.
He tried to get up to leave again and looked at me and said, “Your smile really brightens a room, do you know that? I said, “Thank you very much.”
He tried to get up, but it took him some time. As he got up he said, “Take care of that smile.”
I felt a sense of comfort wash over me and I reflected (反省)on my morning and that empty feeling I had. For a moment in time it seemed to be filled.
