he laughed!

these mornings are just so beautiful and
they feel so good to be out in.
i was walkin' and soakin' it all up.
feelin' good....real good.

kinda crossed paths with the guy down
the street. close enough to holler out
a good morning to anyway.

i forget sometimes when i'm fillin' up
with these good feelings that it will
bellow out if i don't stop it. well....
it all kinda bellowed out in the good morning
i shouted.

he noticed it.

grin.

now.
he's a serious kinda guy.
i've talked to him several times, and yeah
they've been serious occasions i've talked
to him on. real serious. but still...just his
whole aura is real um....scrunch your eyebrows
down over your eyes, crinkle up your mouth and
be serious kinda air.

my guys don't like him. and that says a lot.
i've always been sure he's a really good guy,
i feel like he'd be there for me to help me out
if i ever needed it. actually he really kinda
has already. he's a good guy.
he just needs a little lightening up.

well....we exchanged a few words this morning,
and mine were brimming with enthusiasm for the
day.

and he laughed!
he actually laughed!!!

i have never seen him laugh!!!
i laughed just hearin' him laugh!
and my first thought???
'i gotta tell the guys!'

funny, huh?
this man has no idea that i'll be announcing
at the breakfast table that he laughed!

we matter to each other.
we just do.
and our moods and interactions with each other
really do make a difference.

and we have no idea how much, do we???

hearin' his laugh lit up my morning.
and he'll never know.

how about the 'big' things he does that he'll
never know about???

gonna think twice about my actions today!
they may matter more than i know!
