Lazy Girl's Guide to Life

I'm really not a kid person. They're fun for about a half hour and then I want to give them back to their parents. Yet despite my fairly neutral stance on small children, a little girl totally melted my heart today. I was rushing into Wegman's after a long commute back from working in Rochester and just in front of me, a young mother was holding her toddler on her hip. This little girl could not have been more than one. As we're about to go through the automatic doors, she suddenly looks right at me and her entire face lights up. She has a huge smile on her face and she waves her little hand hello to me. I can't lie, it totally made my day and my ovaries jump a little bit. I'm not about to get baby fever, but after a few exhaustive and emotionally draining days, this strange little girl touched my heart in such an unexpected way. It's amazing what unsolicited kindness can do for the soul.
