another day...another discovery..

Today I reported to the Soup Kitchen and man oh man! Everywhere I turned there was a new noise. Pots clanging, water running, people coming in and out of doors, chairs scratching the floors. Think it was noisy? Yes it was but I heard all that noise. ME! I do hope it doesnt sound like I am complaining...Im not. Its an adjustment I have to make. I was able to talk to the people I serve with. Oh Ms. Betty it was a pleasure hearing your voice. On the way home, I hit a few of my shops in 5 points. One of my favorites is 2G's Love them they always have their beautiful dogs with them in the shop. I just went to visit and of course while chatting I saw these 2 to die for shirts I had to have  lol but sh mums the word  lol  Anyway, we chatted then a couple girls overheard and they wondered on over to join in on the conversation. I have never ever talked with as many strangers as I have this week. And to think I heard them and conversed. I had a glorious time! Absolutely fantastic time chit chatting as Ed says...Im learning how to chit chat and its wonderful. I am finding myself talking a lot about nothing  lol  Met 2 of my girlies from Hartsville for lunch today and I heard them both in conversation! I reached over to grab their hands to say the blessing and afterwards I thought, I should have let them say it so I could listen to theirs. But there is always a next time for that. I do have to say while dining, the ice machine sure did make a lot of racket. Again, not complaining. just making an observation :) It as such a nice lunch. I see many more lunch dates down the road. When I drove home lare after running an errand, I noticed an elderly neighbor out in the yard. I dearly love her but do not "chit chat" with her often as she is hard to "read". I saw her out in the yard, I stopped and we chit chatted all afternoon along with her daughter. Had a grand time. I love how everyone is so happy for me and just smiles and congratulates me. Makes me want to work that much harder to make this thing a success. I have gone out and about more this week then I have in weeks. Having a blast. Went to overnight a package and even the girl waiting on me was thrilled for me. I had to tell her I was wearing a CI as she was walking all around the shop asking me questions and I had to compete with other customers also...After I told her about my CI, she was all interested and the other customers, walked in closer and got in the act. What a marvelous thing. Again, met another stranger. Im tellin ya...this is a good thing. My girlfriend said today she even thought she could write a good murder mystery involving a CI wearer...Yes, my girlies are weird but ...takes one to know one, right??? OMG! My dog is behind me scratching her ear! WOW... Had a wonderful and blessed day. Im ready for hubby to come home so we can chit chat and tell him all about it.... thanks again for joining me. Later!
