And now for the rest of the story...

So you know how you mean to do something but then you get busy and forget… and by the time you think of it or have time to do it you feel like it is too late… you may even put it off longer because so much time has passed you do not know where to begin??? Well this is where I am on my blog… I left you all (my 9 readers… haha) hanging with my guilty pleaser ending of Ugly Betty; and then I fell of the face of the earth! The best way I know to handle this is to no longer make promises of posts, so that when I don’t have the time I will not feel bad for leaving everyone hanging.

Now that the business is out of the way I will continue with a new post…

Wednesday, I was at lunch with Pop and Aunt Red when the hostess seated an older couple at the table beside us. I naturally, being the people watcher I am, looked over to see if it was anyone I knew. The couple, I noticed, had sat on opposite sides of the table; which is my opinion of the optimal situation for talking over a meal when only 2 people are present. Only, instead of sitting directly across from one another they sat on opposite ends of the table as well. Now granted this is only a 4 person table so it was not like they were on opposite ends of the universe but they looked like 2 people who had been forced to eat at the same table. It reminded me of elementary school when the teacher gets the bright idea that everyone will behave better if seats are assigned in the lunch room and you end up sitting by the only person in the class that you don’t want to sit by so you sit as far on the other side of your seat as you can… without falling off. Any way I don’t know how often you guys eat out but I have never been at a restaurant where the force you to sit where you don’t want to or be seated with a stranger if you do not want to be seated with them. So obviously these two people had made the decision to come eat lunch together but their body language was telling the world a different story. To top it off we finished our meal before they did so maybe things changed after I left but in the whole time we sat beside this couple they never said a word.

My question to all of you is do you think this couple was angry with one another and had to come eat because they were starving and simply could get food any other way? Or do you think they have spent so many years together in Love that they are completely content in simply being in each other’s presence? It also made me think; what do I do when out in public, that others may see and have questions about? Am I a mystery or am I living my life so that my actions portray my feelings and my love for the Lord? In the case with the couple in the restaurant… if the answer was that they were in love and simply revel in the presence of one another, then why did I have to ask the other question? Shouldn’t I just be able to tell?
