sweet man

it's an amazing thing when someone can make you feel beautiful.

yesterday i took a walk out of work to just be in the snow and enjoy it while it lasted. the soft large flakes pelting me in the nose, i walked several blocks away to a quiet neighborhood in chelsea. i watched small dogs march by in their puffy jackets and really noticed how beautiful people's eyes are when they are engulfed in their scarves.

never one to be afraid to look a stranger in the face, i passed by an old man, maybe in his seventies and we just happened to smile at each other. he paused, still smiling and said "you look like a snow princess."

i gave him a toothier grin, giggled, and held it all the way back to work.
