Some of you know about my marvelous Mom who had a stroke seven years ago. She is unable to walk, talk or move her left hand. But she is an absolute inspiration. Every Tuesday night we go out together. I take her to a mall and out for dinner (she loves a glass of pinot grigio).
Anyway tonight was a bit miserable due to a big snowstorm. So we just stayed in town. Off we went to Wal Mart and as we were in line I noticed a fairly disheveled man a bit ahead of us in line. He was looking at us as people often do when someone is in a wheelchair. I gave him a big smile and started to chat with my Mom. A minute later he came up to us and gave my Mom these
two lady bugs. He paints them and gives them to people.
He said when you "See a ladybug on the windowsill it means you will be lucky" and he told us to put these wee guys there. I felt so joyful. "Hey, I am the one who usually does stuff like this!" I thought. I thanked him so much but had to go talk to him again.
I expressed my happiness and told him about the RAK group I belong to and how I was going to sing his praises. The gentleman said all he wants to do is put a smile on someone's face. I can't tell you how cool this was! Never has something like this happened to me butI think it is because I hang out with you guys. Some good energy!! XO
