Monday February 6th

Today is a big work day so I don't really do anything but think about hiking.  Lately that thinking involves how much I want my knee and back to stop hurting so I won't feel like I am damaging them.

Happy things for today...

While working in a grocery store a Song starts playing, as they tend to do.  From the next aisle I here a young voice singing along.   Very cute hearing the little one singing "Shut up and dance with me" and he seemed to know-or at least think he knew- many of the words.  I am guessing he was around 4 years old.

Another thing that happened is someone came up to see if I knew where something was.  He was an older Asian man who spoke heavily accented English but he couldn't come up with the name for what he wanted.  So he was saying that he wanted a cup for cream.  He held his fingers in a circle which implied a small cup.  I didn't get it.  I was thinking cream, like half and half.  I was also thinking cup like custard cup.  After a few more tries and him saying that he couldn't think of the word he points to the ice cream and mimics eating an ice cream cone!  I got it!  He wanted to know where the ice cream cones were!  I felt like we won a game of charades!  Accents are an interesting thing... some I can understand fairly well and others not so much.  This man could have had a much heavier accent, I understood what he said, he just couldn't think of the word.  Sometimes the people that I help find things stick out in a good way, this was one of those times.
