People~

So many good people in this world. And most of them end up in a Wal-Mart checkout line at one time or another.

*

The Dad with lots of children. Black children. White children. All ages. All calling him "Dad" even though he's old enough to be called "Grandpa".

*

The marathon runner and his Eagle Scout son. Already felt a connection to his wife the first time I met her last week. Don't know their names. Love them anyway.

*

The girls who snuck up behind me. Just to say hi and see how I'm doing.

*

The returned missionary whose claim to fame is attending an Amish buffet in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. (Intercourse is adjacent to Paradise, btw)

*

Tyler's friends. Love them. All so different from each other. Good kids.

*

The Dad who dug four dollars' worth of quarters out of his pocket to buy a package of socks for his little girl. When he left the house, she was in her bedroom crying and trying to sew up a hole in her socks so she'd have some to wear to school.

*

The woman who walked over and swiped her own credit card when her neighbor's card was declined.

*

The guy from Switzerland.

*

The girl from Paris.

I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to meet amazing people every single day. They all make me want to be a better person.
