That�ll be exactly sixteen dollars, please.

When that happens, I get this feeling of instant karma. A cosmic high-five. All stars aligned. The clock flashing 11:11.

This week I�ve been thinking about little things that bring about some sort of goodness. More specifically, I�m thinking about how I need to be more aware of these moments and to fully recognize when they pass me by.

It�s like being completely parallel yet perpendicular to everyone around you. As you pass them on the street, your lives are touching in that very moment, yet you�re not touching at all.

I love that feeling of insignificance. It�s humbling to have others� lives going on all around me without any regard for me. It reminds me to quit being so stuck on whatever�s going on with me, as life goes on with or without me.

The other day someone included a quote that got me thinking:

�Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.�

Holy crap, is that ever true. I�m going to try to be more aware of that as the perpendicular crossings happen.

I sound like a college freshman taking her first psychology class where I realize that one�s perceptions shape his or her reality and that not everyone�s perceptions/reality are the same.

So I�ll end on this cheesy note to try to make up for being Miss Pensive today:

My purple might not be your purple.
