It's been around me this morning... I have been thinking about how I am bad about eating throughout my day and more so at breakfast. Sometimes it just feels too hard to even think about chewing the food or I just get so sidetracked and starving that by the time i want to eat I am not motivated enough to eat then. I know most people say that they have the opposite. My friend A texted me and asked me to eat breakfast for her because she has to have surgery today and can't eat. I responded and said yes! Right after that friend B texted and said "remember to eat today." Awesome!
I really love when that stuff happens. It tends to happen quite a bit. I find that a lot of times my lady love and I are thinking about the same things. I am wondering if I am just really in tune with her at times that those thoughts just flow into my mind. I find that that happens quite a bit with us. It makes me laugh when we realize we had the same thing on our mind.
For a while a friend of mine and I would have each other on our mind and then that friend would call me or I would call them. It was interesting even more so because it was as if our lives were running parallel to each other and we were going thru some of the same experiences and trying to figure out how to work thru them.
There is a funny thing that happens with me... I live in a town where things are very accessible. As in I have been thinking of things I might need or want for my apartment, myself or something my friend mentioned they may need or want and then they are available to me. Sometimes it takes a few weeks or months for them to appear but then they do... it's stuff that I find that's been thrown out around town.
Boulder is a pretty big college town. People come and go all the time. When they go they leave lots of stuff they don't need behind. Behind as in, in a dumpster or next to it. I will admit at one point in my life I didn't mind climbing into the dumpster to check it out... I am telling you it is amazing the things people throw out! Beaker drinking glasses all packed up nicely. Perfectly, intact and useable things... I have thought many times over of starting a business of the things people throw away. I stop myself because I don't really want to end up on hoarders on TLC. That would just be awkward. I have thought of making art out of some of it. I have actually done that... Pictures that get thrown out you can just repaint over. Amazing! I know I get pretty excited about this. I found about 3 brooms someone threw out. It was great because I asked a friend if they wanted one of the brooms and at first they looked at me like I was a little off... then they thought about it and realized they were wanting a broom for winter to brush off their truck.
I once found a stuffed toy kitten that was on my walk to working with a little girl... I had been thinking about wanting to get her something... that kitty was dirty and in the ditch... hmmm I wonder what that kitty was up to the night before? Sippin a little too much gin Kitty? I checked around to see if it would have been from a nearby house of a youngster. Nope. The kitty went with me and given to my precious little friend of 1 1/2yrs... we soaked that kitty in a nice hot soapy bath, gave her some good "food" and love, then threw her in the wash, the little girl was so upset that I had to avert her attention til the kitty was dried and ready for play. I happened to run into her at the library about a half of year after I stopped working with her. I was with my other little friend of 1 1/2 yrs. She happened to have her kitty with her! It was so fun to see her and the kitty. She said it's one of her favorite toys. P.s. I have had a couple of little kid friends that I've taken care of name their stuffed animals after me. I feel pretty honored about that. I makes up for not finding my name on those name stickers. I always settled for superstar.
I feel like a lot of things happen when I am paying attention to what is around me. I have had lots of fun interactions like that.
