How odd was that ..... really?

You know how sometimes when you go out in the winter, and you're wearing a knitted hat,you come back in and you realize that your hat has ridden up and you look like an elf? Well, I was out for lunch with my parents today. There's a little Bake Oven place so very close to where I grew up and they like to go there for a sandwich. There was a lady there, sitting by herself. Her hat, it was a white woolly hat, her hat was riding up just like my orange woolly hat does when I'm outside playing with my dog. To say the least, she caught my attention. To catch even more of my attention, she was talking to herself about the lady at the other end of the caffe who said the coffee wasn't fresh. I stopped. She caught my eye and began all over again. 'The lady over there doesn't like her coffee. She says it isn't fresh. I don't know why she's complaining because I like the coffee. She's complaining that it's not fresh...and I really like my computer. I like the way the keys feel and I like the features it has.. I can send e-mail.. and my brother has a sore shoulder and he can't play pool anymore. He tries but it just hurts too much... The waitress brought her sandwich and she forgot I was there listening. At first I thought, this lady is odd. How many of us have the courage to ramble on at a stranger, whether we are odd or not? How many of us do exactly what this lady did in public, only we save our ramblings for when we are doing the dishes or vacuuming, for when we are alone? She actually made my day extra special. I think if we try to be too much like everyone else, we become too ordinary. It's the 'odd' people in life that add the extra spice. I do think she was lonely, so that makes me sad. The caffe at least has people coming and going. I'll be on the lookout for other 'odd' people from now on and I hope I have the courage to offer some company. God loves us all and it's my job to follow His example. Have a great day!
