paper or plastic?

     Sometimes I think that no one could explain life better than the great Alanis Morrisette herself, what a jagged little pill. Sometimes I feel like some things just aren't appropriate without a large glass of wine in your hand. Like, listening to Alanis Morrisette. I think it's great that certain things have different affects on our life. Like, Alanis Morrisette. Before you start thinking i'm obsessed with some uptight strong biotch, let me explain. Her music is empowering, harsh, and pretty honest. Sometimes it's stated as greatly and as simply as "you live, you learn." Or, "you oughta know." Her music makes me feel better, I can't imagine any other reaction. 

   

   I work at a grocery store, and we get most of the same customers every single day. I see them on their bad days, I see them on their good days. I see them cry, I see them jump for joy, literally...and, after a while, you start to develop relationships with your customers, you start to know what kind of day they've had just by the way they walk in the door. In particular, there's this guy that comes in every week. He always comes in at night and always just shops with a basket. This guy always picks out his bread first, then produce, then canned foods, then frozen foods. He doesn't say much. When he comes through my line, he always says hey with a shy smile and we talk about coffee and the weather. Last Saturday I was working and he came in, this time he was with his girlfriend. He didn't grab a basket or start at the bread. And another thing, this guy had the biggest smile on his face as he was holding this girls hand. He was so happy to be with her at that moment in time. He was laughing and really glowing. I see this all the time. People are so different depending on who they come to the grocery store with. Personally, I hope that when i'm with the person I love, i'm a better person. I hope I glow like the quiet guy with the basket...I hope i can't stop laughing and that i'm proud to be there. 

  

   I think it's great that people were designed in a very certain way. I think it's great that some where in the world is a guy that was designed by the hands of God, just for me.... I love knowing that I have the greatest friends in the whole world and that everyone is where they are on purpose...

some people were 

born to understand you.

Some times I can't help but to wonder about love. Is it just a chemical reaction in your brain? Hormones trained to make you feel butterflies around certain people? Signals sent to your brain telling you it's okay to open up in that conversation? What is it?

Whatever it is, it's made with purpose, and that to me is a beautiful thing.

Knowing that our lives are so full of purpose is a beautiful thing.

just some thoughts for today..
