Be careful what you wish for.

I married Dave in 2004. Back then he didn't totally agree with my intuition, my idea that there are angels among us, and my other ideas about life and living. But I think he is slowly coming around.

During a time when his work wasn't going so well, I asked him what he wanted to do instead. He said that he wanted to be a writer. I said go for it. I also told him to put the idea of what type of writer in his mind and to just keep that idea there. Just know that his final goal would become reality, his wish would come true, even though he didn't know how. I said that with that in his mind doors and opportunities would start opening up. He just had to allow himself to believe.

Well, guess what. I think he might grudgingly agree that I was right. Six years later, after having the nerve to move to Enid, OK, he is on his way to realizing his dream. He is now the sports editor for the local paper. I am so proud of him. And I am glad that he allowed me to help him get to where he is at.

Random acts of kindness

I love doing things with Dave and miss him when he has to work nights (which lately is most of the time), but being alone sometimes gives me a chance to perform random acts of kindness. Tonight I was able to give blood and then was going to attend the Movie at the Ballpark. I went up to the concession stand, but there was quite a line. There was only one lady working at the concession. Oh my. One lady jumped out of line and went in and helped. I wanted to help, but didn't know if it was allowed. Finally I got up enough nerve to ask and they said, "Get in here". So I did. I felt like I was in Hell's Kitchen or something. I didn't know where anything was or the prices of things. I finally caught on and the three of us felt into a routine. The lady that was there first, Judy, I think, was awesome. She was buzzing around everywhere, making popcorn, nachos, ice tea, pizza. Then a young girl came to help also. We hit our stride. I was passing out the popcorn and making nachos. The other two were at the windows. It was a fun 45 minutes. I love doing random acts of kindness.
