here's to little old men

I believe the world is wonderful, in part, because of little old men. These darling  crinkled gentlemen are charming and endearing, sweet and goofy. The twinkle in their eye can't help but cheer your heart.  Their wrinkled worn elbows, quick grin, and leisurely walk focus your gaze and soften your heart.  At times these dear aged men mumble a compliment or flash a smile that ebbs away the storm clouds and allows sunshine to radiate through to your soul. One such little old man said to me, unhurried and matter-of-factly:

"Becky, you're too cute to work at Home Depot. You need to quit and move to Hollywood where you can make some real money".

So here's a toast-- to all the adorable ancient men out there-- thank you for being so darn cute!

Fab-U-lous! I love sweetness like that to brighten your day. Maybe he's right. Moving to Hollywood and making real money sounds like way more fun than school.
