Hmph, huh and pause - March 19, 2010

How is it you can live right next door to someone for months--years even--and never run into them??? My next door neighbour moved out today. We bumped into each other as she was moving out. Amazing. Hi! Bye!... Huh.

I took a pause to notice the cleaning lady wiping the glass door and windows of the front building entry with such pride. So clean, I thought, I would have run smack dab through 'em if I didn't know there was a door there. So I took another pause to offer a few simple words of praise and complimented her on how sparkly the front entry door and windows were. That smile of thanks on a sunny spring day was simply positive and infectious. Doesn't take much to pause, huh.
