Thinking Of Others

There are several times in a day or week that I find myself thinking of other people.  They're not just randomly popping into my head.  It's when I perform a specific action or hear a certain song.  It's interesting how often I think of these people.  For example:

A friend of mine was visiting when Katelyn was young.  As I popped the table off K's high chair to wipe it down, she jokingly commented, "Oh, you're one of THOSE parents who cleans it every time".  And now? Every time I wipe down the Andrew's high chair table, I think of her.

Everytime I'm eating popcorn and there's those little half popped kernels that are super crunchy, I think of my university bestie and how he told me that was his and his mom's favourite part of popcorn.

Everytime I hear the song, "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors, I think of Courtney C. and walking home from Vickers with her.  Not sure we would have been listening to the song or why that song reminds me of her, but it does.

Everytime I drive up to the lake and I cross Torch River, I think of a young man that was tragically killed in a river rafting accident.

Everytime I clean the goop out of the bottom of the sink, I think of my sister in law, K, and how she hates doing that.

It's always just little things like the above that make me think of random people.  They don't even know I'm thinking about them, but I am.  It makes me wonder if there are people out there who think of me at random times, because of something I did or said.

That's all for today.  We're busy gearing up for Joel's return to school tomorrow.  Baths and hair cuts are on the agenda.

And so it goes...
