So I am sitting in a whiskey bar in Portland,Oregon, Watching patrons partake in a daily lethel cup of the adult punch bowl. Stronger than it tastes. Its November its rainy and my poodle needs to be walked. I step outside and proceed to walk her when along side of me a priest says “Good evening do you mind if I join you?”He was visiting a friend and was from Irelnad I told him how this was my first time visiting and how November was a fun time being from Southern California. He told me being from Ireland the weather was comfortable. We had a great walk and talk and a mutual gratitude for the conversation. I am not sure what made me think of him tonight. Maybe the rain maybe the connection maybe the drink maybe the appreciation. The simple steps that leave an impression.
