Senioritis

But not that kind.

Today I had the pleasure of standing in line behind a lovely old couple at Chick-fil-a. And when I say lovely, I mean it with absolutely no sarcasm this time. I had already ordered my food and was back up at the counter for a refill on a coke. It was one of those days where nothing really phased me and I felt a lot more tolerant about certain things, thus the reason why this elderly couple taking forever in front of me, honestly, didn't bother me.

I don't usually think old people are cute and I'm not typically attracted to wrinkles.  But today, I'd describe this couple as cute. They stood there, side by side, and it was so clear that they had not a care in the world. They didn't seem to realize the growing line behind them. The only thing that mattered was themselves. I know, it sounds selfish, but in this moment, it wasn't. In this moment, I found myself dreaming about the moment when I will stand side-by-side with my husband with no other care in the world. No more worrying about jobs, money, people to please and places to go.  Just him and I. It was so clear to me that this couple knew everything about one another, was completely comfortable, and was completely content just....to be.

But I'm not quite ready to adorn myself with wrinkles. I'm just noticing the beauty of life, and life in it's entirety.
