It is amazing how the simplest gestures in life can make you smile. The other day, I was pulling up to the gated entrance of my friend's neighborhood. Normally the workers there are very strict. You pull up to the gate and tell them your name and who you are visiting. They either check the guest list or call the house and if your lucky enough for them to answer, the guard presses the magic button allowing you to stroll under the mailbox lever and roll by the notoriously slow automatic iron doors.
This night was a totally new experience though. I pronounced my name and my destination. The guard smiled and replied, "Well he told me you were coming, but he didn't tell me you would be this gorgeous." The doors opened, and I was on my way. The strange part was that he wasn't like some dreamy guy that only show up in movies or something like that. He didn't rip off his shirt and expose his equisite 8-pack. He was just a regular guy you would expect to find at the gate of some random exclusive neighborhood. What is so amazing is that his small little surprisingly non-creepy comment made me smile all night long. And not so surprisingly, when I arrived at His house, there was no comment about my appearance at all.
It's the simple things in life that keep us smiling. Whoever you are reading this probably think I am crazy just focusing on some small inkling in time, but for us girls, it's a pretty big deal when someone notices the hard work and dedication that was poured into composing the perfect curled hairstyle and impeccable outfit choice that completed it. So thank you Mr. Security Guard man. I hope you had a great night :)
And reader, I hope your night goes well, too! As for me, I'm about to go see Mamma Mia! For the second time! Goodnight!
