Breakfast At Timmy's

I had the pleasure to go to Tim Horton's for breakfast, with Uncle Alfred, today. For most people, it was just another Monday morning, a start to a new week. I very rarely, if ever, go to Tim Horton's on a weekday morning for breakfast, but I got to experience it today. If you are wondering, I had a great chat with our next English Pastor (it's going to be hard to adjust to Ps. Alfred from Uncle Alfred), and I believe that he will be an excellent pastor for our congregation.

However, the reason for this post is because of an occurrence that happened while I was waiting for Timmy's to get the food ready. I was sitting at the table waiting, patiently, and across from me were two elderly ladies enjoying tea together. They both looked very spirited from my view, and it was probably enhanced by the way the sun was shining through the window. As I'm trying to make myself look occupied, I couldn't help but overhear the conversation these two ladies were having. They were talking about participating in line dancing. When I heard about this - I can't exactly remember which dance they were talking about - two things immediately came to mind. The first one was that I was reminded of when we used to have to do social dancing in school. Those times of dancing were probably the most awkward for many people, and I don't think I need to explain it to you. The second thing that came to my mind was a very pleasant thought. It was that of a carefree feeling kind of energy that was emitting from the two of them. You can totally sense it in the tone of their voices, their facial expressions and everything about them. I thought to myself that it must be pretty awesome to be their age and to live so righteously.

So after this little encounter, I was inspired to rethink my thoughts about age. I now believe that being a child and being retired are the two best stages in life. Why? Because you get to actually live without the worry of a busy lifestyle that the majority of people seem to have.

Pretty sweet, eh?
