Who would've thought...

... That with as little time as I've had since i started this new job, that my next post would be during work. Ha!

I'm sitting on a bench, in the middle of an elementary school, in Corte Madera, CA. As I sit, I am waiting for a sales guy named Lou to finish his survey of the school's A/C units. This mobile blog is saving me from sitting alone and bored in this idle time.

Boy was the ride here interesting... Got lost twice but I did make it after all. I was so stressed out I had to stop and center myself for a moment. Back to earth I came.

I have been sitting here for at least an hour, and so many little children have helped to snap me out if my "funk". Kids are so amazing to watch, they are care-free and mostly happy all of the time. A train of about 30 kids all passed me and they were breath-taken by the ladder that I sit here guarding until Lou comes down. I say breath-taken because 6 or 7 of them made a BiG deal over something as simple as a ladder! A couple of em even asked me if it was mine, and got all excited when I said "yes". I find this truly beautiful and amazing.

It is so easy to forget the innocence that we all once had as kids, because to survive in this harsh world, most innocence is washed out and scrubbed off as we learn the way the world works as we get older.

I've grown up so much over the last month I am amazing myself. However today all it took today for me to FREAK out was getting lost. These kids brought me back to earth, and I thank God for them! It is going to be a wonderful day!
