So Why Not?

This old gal...

Stopped at Hy-Vee for water...needed nothing else, just bottled water...and much to the surprise of impulse-buyer-me...left with JUST water(and maybe a few lottery tickets, but that's our little secret)...

Was heading out after paying and couldn't help but notice a young man...a young man about 20...a young man, about 20, chatting away with the older check-out lady while he paid for his items...

Cuter than cute...boy band cute...jeans-and-a-T-shirt-and-curly-blond-hair-Niall Horan-kind of cute...

But it wasn't his looks that made him stand out..it wasn't his looks that made an old gal stop and take pause...it wasn't his looks that made her pretend to look at the flower display so he could walk by her on his way out...

It was his check-out personality...

bubbly, kind, just loud enough one could hear what he said...a ready laugh...a twinkle in the eye...a hearty, "Have a great day!" as he grabbed his bags and exited left...

Right by an old gal...a gawking old gal pretending to look at the flower display...a gawking old gal who he said hello to when they caught eyes...

And it made her heart melt...not because of the interaction per se...but because it was all so wholesome...it was all so good...it was all—so rare...

And so it is...in a world where you can be anything—be kind...boy-band-look-a-like-at-the-Hy-Vee-check-out-kind-of-kind...because when it comes down to it, there's only 'One (logical) Direction' in life to take...

So why not?

And that husband of mine...agrees...
