Thursday evenings are one of the few times during the week that I eat in the cafeteria...because I meet with my Tanzania/Hispanic team each week for dinner. Tonight I was absolutely delighted when we started going through the line and discovered that all of the people in front of me had plums on their trays!! Next to strawberries, plums are my favorite (in America anyhow)! However, when I got to the basket of plums, I was utterly crushed to find that they were all out. But alas, as you all know, I am a firm believer in happy endings and would not tell this story if it did not have a happy ending. Part way through dinner, I asked one of my teammates if he would check for me to see if they had put more out. And much to my delight, he returned with THREE plums...just for me. To use the favorite expression of my southern friends "Bless his heart."

Why do I tell you this story of all the things I could write about? Probably because it is the little things that excite me. Probably because I would rather focus on the things that bring a smile to my face. Probably because I am just a little random and wanted to share a highlight in my day. :)
