Theobroma - Food of the Gods

Tidbits of life from a simple Syrian-Californian girl.

Good morning

Today as I was leaving the gym, I sneezed.  An old man carrying a water bottle turned to me and said "Bless you!"  I thanked him and he held the door open for me.  As we walked out together he said "do you know why they say that?"  I told him my understanding was that it was because one's heart stops when (s)he sneezes, he said "EVERYTHING stops," with a swoop of his hand.  I thanked him for the knowledge and told him to have a good day.  He said "everyday is a good day, if my feet touch the ground, then I know it's going to be a good day." 

What a great attitude.  Words to live by :)
