100 Happy Days!

Day #61: I didn't work today and so I wasn't in a hurry to wake up. Well suddenly I just woke up and looked at the clock. I saw that it was a good time to be awake. After being awake about 10 minutes I suddenly had the urge to go to the grocery store ASAP. I was going to go to the grocery store since I was off, but really wouldn't have considered it vital to go to the store so fast. Other then I was out of food and kind of hungry, usually smoothies don't do much for long. (mostly what I had in the apartment or canned food) Well I decided to go to the store if I had the impression to do it. I was trying to leave and kept forgetting stuff, so I kept going back in. Finally I left and I noticed it was really good weather. So I decided to walk and ride the bus back at the end. Well I was about 1 1/2 blocks away from my apartment when I almost ran right into this guy. I quickly realized that I knew who this guy was, it was actually a guy that I knew from a YSA ward 3 years ago. We were about 5 feet from running in to each other, except I was coming from another way. So he didn't see me and crossed the street. From the back I couldn't quite tell if it was him, but I was pretty sure that was who I had seen on the corner before he turned to cross. Well while deciding if it was really him the chance was missed to say anything because he suddenly was like 1/2 a block a head of me. I stayed back long enough to determine it was him and eventually he was a block ahead of me, apparently a fast walker. Well I went in the direction of the store and he walked the other way, later found out he was going up north to his job. Well I texted him since I'm doing the 'no social media this week' and said that I was pretty sure he had been in front of me. He said that he had been along that street at that time, but was going to work since it was such good weather. So we conversed a little and then I said that I was actually really happy that I'd seen him. Even though we hadn't actually conversed I was glad to see him because he's one of the very good people I've known in life. It was so nice seeing a good person in the world today after being bogged down for to long with horrible people in the world. I realized that apparently I was supposed to see him or I wouldn't have had the impression to get to the store so fast. And any other day off I wouldn't have woken up that early either most likely. Happy to be reminded that most of the world is good people, but unfortunately bad people do exist by the bad choices they make everyday.
