As I’m paying for my morning coffee at (gag) QuickTrip this morning, I am struck by the fellow next to me in line.  He held the door for me like a true gentleman would and that was all there was to it.  We happened to pull out of the parking lot at the same time and also happened to be headed down the highway in the same general direction but again; no contact beyond a glance and a “thank you”.

My head however, proceeded to carry on a relationship with him all my merry way to work.  I had him wondering about me in his truck on his way to work and even wondering if we’d exit at the same time.  I of course lost sight of him almost immediately and I feel quite content with that now considering I’d be a little more than crazy to stalk a stranger’s truck all the way down the highway.  There have been occasions on my way to work where I noticed a particularly good driver and kept them in my sights all the way to my destination.  Or the times where there’s that one Jack that is a terrible driver yet somehow still manages to keep up with me.  These are not considered highway stalkings if you ask my opinion.

I personally chalk this up to the extreme levels of stress at work right now.  I think that I somehow needed to not obsess about the job all the way to work so in my own special way, I came up with something else to think about!!  But who out there hasn’t had one of those moments, and I DARE you to deny it, where you see a complete stranger that you’ll never cross paths with again (or wouldn’t know it if you did) but at that moment, they make your heart skip a beat for no reason?
