There is something about sunshine that just makes life better. As much as I have come to love the snow and the mountains, I can smell spring in the air and I can almost hear the ocean calling my name.... Awwww, I can't wait to walk in the sand and hear the waves crash.... I guess you can say it is my happy place.
While I was at the gym yesterday I noticed an older couple - probably late 70's early 80's. They each had on a simple gold wedding band and matching tee shirts. They were speaking sign language to each other and he kept reaching over and turning up the speed on her treadmill.... she would giggle and turn it down. I couldn't help but watch them, they were too cute. At the end of my workout, they happened to be walking out in front of me, he reached over and pinched her behind, she said "Honey, stop that" He came back with an, "I can't help it".... As they saw me behind them, she quickly apologized for her husbands behavior... and he quickly stated "How am I supposed to behave with a beautiful woman like you at my side".... I said "you two must be newlyweds".... She said "no, we have been married over forty years" he said "40 fun filled years". He put his arm around her and they walked to their car (a red mustang convertible)... I keep thinking about them, how cute they are... How lucky they are... and what is their story? Why the sign language when they can obviously hear and speak? How do they fill their days? What do they do for fun? Where do they take that convertible? Anyways... Here is to the delight that this couple brought me by just living life. Thank you!
