And Sometimes..........

............. the usually busy gas station is almost bare of cars, on the morning you were on empty and running late and sometimes you get the pump closest to the door of the shop and sometimes the lovely Anwar behind the desk gives you one of her oh so rare smiles, the sort of smiles that give you the same feeling as the one you get when you see a deer come out of the woods, and sometimes there is NO traffic were there usually would be and sometimes you pop in a cd of songs that Coco gave you that makes you wanna bounce around, and sometimes you drive behind a Sparklets truck and the light reflected off all those sequin-y things on the back filling your car with dancing little lights while you car dance to "I'm A Believer" and sometimes you get to work and you find that three lovely people who's emails you have not gotten a chance to respond to yet because you're a spacey dork have actually written to you AGAIN, saying the nicest things imaginable even though you're the sort of person that doesn't respond to her fan mail promptly and sometimes you find leftover chocolate cake in the break room and cut yourself the end piece with all the frosting and sometimes the French Exec catches you red-handed eating cake for breakfast and laughs in a way that suggests he doesn't think badly of you and sometimes just as you are leaving the French Exec says, "Psst. Is there any MORE chocolate cake?" and sometimes there is one big piece and you laugh as you each take a huge bite and wander off back to your desks.

And sometimes even all that happiness doesn't compare to the first ten minutes of your day, the ten minutes between waking up and opening your eyes, that perfect ten minutes, but I can't tell you about that. *smile*
