Fun Stuff

So I found a park that I really like that has a good disc golf course. I have realized that the best time to get practice in there is to go during the day on a weekday. I need some serious target practice though!! I even looked up how to throw correctly! Definitely can't wait to get some practice in, some of the others that I have seen are really good.

Just a Little moment that made my Week

Traffic is simply a part in the city, more often then not including tired, mildly stressed adults who in a lapse of judgement finish their coffee just before hopping in the car. But occassionally there are moments when little bits of fun happen. On my way home from work today just as I was about to cross the St. John's bridge I let a school bus go ahead of me. Sitting in the back of the bus were about six 4th grade girls. As the bus was pulling in front of me I noticed that they were waving with happy abandon in farewell to the car that had previously been behind them they picked up the greeting with me. I waved back. They smiled excitedly and began to converse amongst themselves. Thinking that was all they wanted I was soon lost in my own thoughts. When I looked back at the bus they had a little note waiting in the window for me to read, saying that they liked my hair and sunglasses, to which I responded by signing THANK YOU. They smiled more and wrote more notes to which I responded with  more signs, we had a whole conversation, us 7, and the long minutes of sitting in a hot car or bus on a bridge went by swiftly and with much energy! Never underestimate the little things like conversations held in unique ways and like the bilingual one that happened on the bridge today. It was so precious to watch all 6 of them huddled around in the heat to create the next note that they wanted to present to me, and the teamwork involved when I responded. Made me smile the rest of the way home when my path moved away from theirs.
