I wonder

I wonder what people's lives are like? What are they thinking and how do they feel? What life changing events have they gone through and what did they learn? Who inspires them? What are they passionate about? What makes them laugh and what are they grateful for? What single moment in their day made them happy?

Just looking at people's faces as they go by makes me wonder why they have that expression on their faces. I wonder if I could help just by listening.

One of these days I just might go up to a total stranger and ask.

Time for a Change

"I like change, she said, as long as I remember I like change."

Change has come once again in my life. This time because of my own doing. I quit my job. And I'm actually happy that I did it. It isn't as scary as I thought it would be. I was expecting to feel like I was on the top of a very high roller coaster about to fall all the way down. It's actually more like sitting on a swing with the wind in your hair, leaning back and moving your body so that you go higher and higher. I can now take charge of what my life will look like and what I'm going to do next. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the wind keeps blowing in my hair. Wish me luck.
