Laugh!

As I entered the gym this morning, I was greeted by a lovely elderly man who was holding the door for me. I noticed he was looking at me with a classic Andy Rooney squint! I thought how sweet it was that he was "looking out for me".

Then, we move to our respective cardio machines and after several minutes I look over at him and he is reading the paper as if it was printed in microscopic font!

A coin would have been difficult to slide between the paper and his nose. I am sure the Dallas Morning News felt a bit violated of personal space.

Yes, we know age can affect our site but I wondered why he wouldn't have glasses or a magnifier (I'm sure it's the same thing people wonder about me and hand prosthetics).

I watched him for a while until a very sweet lady says "honey, where are your glasses?" He just looked at her and said, "Who are you? I can't see you." Ha!. The sweet lady was his wife! I enjoyed watching the caring and playfulness of this couple.

Differences can be a connection that can enhance your relationships. Embrace and find the funny! I'm thinking his looking at me was trying to see whether or not his eyes were playing tricks on him. Hands, no hands?

Have a great day!
