Saturday I spent a moment with loved ones, in the grocery store of all places. We talked and laughed the same as any other day, but I had a moment of realization. I understood just how much they love me. It made me wonder, "How did I get so lucky?"
Saturday night on a separate trip to the grocery store I looked into the faces of the people there and wondered. The lady standing by the soda machine in the cold who's eyes looked as though they'd been crying. It made me wonder if she had someone to love her, what she was waiting for, why she was hurting. As I made my way about the store several times I encountered a darling man in his 80's. I noticed his cart with a 2-liter bottle of soda, 2 frozen entrees, and a candy bar. It made me wonder if his wife was no longer living, leaving him alone. If so, I was sure he missed her, didn't need to wonder about that.
Sunday I rode my bike in excess of 40 miles. That made me wonder what it will be like to ride across the United States.
