Yesterday (Today)

Blogger has erased my last post - not sure why, but here it is again - as best as I'm able...

Today was a typical day for me - lots of work to do, but enough time to get it all accomplished.This morning in one store I worked in, I overheard a local fellow conversing with a store employee. I have "spoken" with him on occasion - but I say that meaning his speech is all but unintelligible. I get more from his body language & hand gestures than I do from his talking. I wonder if I appear the same way to others when I am less than understandable. Do I seem to have my own language? Do others wonder if I am hearing what they say in response to me?
Later in the day, I was able to help a woman in a "mart-kart" with her purchases. As she drove up to me, I knew what she wanted me to help her with, even though she was only able to stutter & moan. I gladly picked it out & set it in the basket in the little scooter-thingy that allowed her to travel the store & shop. She smiled at me & drove off.
I think maybe I have a gift for understanding, or maybe I am just that different from the "norm" that I can understand disabled people, little children, & animals better than I can relate to most adults. It's okay - I like helping people and seeing them happy, probably more than anything else. I wish I had more opportunities.
I'm learning to accept this lot in life God has given me. He knows what I can bear, and what will mold me into what I am to become. I must be doing the right things, because I'm happier than I've been in a long time.

Thanks, God for great music, great insight, and great friends.
You always know how to make my day.
Thank you.
