I almost went out to a bar last night, which in the short term may have been the quicker way to happiness, as shallow as it might have been, but instead went for a long run, which is sure to pay off to a greater degree in the long run, seeing as I met a rather beautiful and wonderful woman.
Her name is Terri Mateze and she has such a smile that just lights up when she is happy. And yes, I feel very good that I was able to generate some of that happiness in the brief amount of time we had to gether then.
Needless to say, though I say it nevertheless, she has a wonderful laugh I could easily listen to all day. And if things work out as I hope they do, we'll have such laughter day after day sooner than later.
And that will make the annoyances of work feel less, which I can certainly use, since I am not among the blessed twelve.
Anyway, I went for a run and during a pause from it, I stopped to drink some of the water I had wisely brought with me and she stopped during her own run and sheepishly smiled at me and asked me if I would be kind enough to share my water with her.
Yes was my easy reply.
And it all flowed from there. I shared my water, she shared her easygoing smile and laughter and our pause stretched to fifteen minutes before we both realized we had to finish before it got too dark. We quickly exchanged our easiest to remember contacts and with plenty of smiling, slowly went our separate ways.
I am so glad I went running instead of going to a bar.
