Ha Ha Helen moments – Wk of 1/11/10
It’s been an interesting week filled with mini-Ha Ha Helen moments!
Leaving the frozen zone and heading into Spring-like weather, earlier in the week I decided to go out for a brisk walk on Tuesday. I got about 1/8 mile out of my condo development and turned my right ankle, falling to my left knee, and using my right wrist to stop myself while…. trying to avoid a steep handicap access ramp! Oh, the irony of it all! (The sidewalk has many dips, due to constant driveway access and corner handicap access ramps – it’s actually a bit treacherous!) So – in pain – I forced myself into a standing position and gave the OK signal to a couple passing cars. Once they were gone – I turned around and headed back home. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY! ha ha
The middle of the week, I went grocery shopping and opted to use the ‘speedy self-scan’ checkout. The automated, voice-prompt on the unit to my right was speaking in Spanish. So, being friendly and enjoying meeting people from all over, I said to the guy using the unit: NO COMPRENDE’ (smile). He responded, “I don’t understand it either. I just get sick of the English prompts so I turn on the Spanish, so I don’t understand what it’s saying.” Then, he promptly left. HA HA – what a moment!
The third thrill for the week was when I was walking past a women’s clothing store window. I saw a woman in the window, standing at the glass. There was a cell phone to her ear. I had to do a double-take. It was a sales associate trying to get good reception on her phone! I did the double-take, took a couple steps back, stopped, stared … SHE DID A POSE! We both laughed – as she continued on with her call and me with my walking.
LIVE LIFE! LAUGH OFTEN! Look for and savor those moments that bring smiles and laughs and good health! Sometimes it helps to add a little quirkiness to the day.
Live life in amazement.. and make your own special moments!
