People

Do you have that one person you see every day on your way to work? I do.
We drive passed each other every morning. I know it's the same person because it's a red car (don't ask me what kind of car as I do not know hardly what mine is) with bumper stickers on the back bumper. I always look in my rear view mirror just to make sure.
I don't who she is or where she is going, but every day I pretend a new life for her. One day she's a postal worker, delivering my mail. Another, she's a secretary for a dentist, or cashier at Meijer.
I sometimes wonder if she ever notices me, and realizes we pass each other every day and imagines the same things I do. I wonder if we ever met would we be fast friends or hateful enemies? Maybe one of these days I will tape a big piece of paper to my car saying, "Have a great day!" just to make her day, and let her know that no matter how her life is at the moment whether good or bad, someone out there cares. I know, I know I have such a weird imagination...and at times a little creepy..but think about it for a minute. It doesn't have to be someone you pass on the road every day, it could be the cashier at the grocery store or the barista at the coffee shop you see each morning. You don't have to be creepy about it, but make their day. Let them know that there are people who notice them and appreciate what they do.
