Crazy title, right! If you know me, you recognize it! I have coined “#Orange Sprinkles” as a response to those special moments when happiness zooms in and takes my breath away, when something brings an unexpected smile to my heart! It is my ultimate, “You MADE My Day!” With so much happening these days, sometimes it is easy to overlook the “orange sprinkles” that filter into our daily routines! Orange sprinkles are like fairy dust, but they truly exist! I am sure that you have experienced a sprinkling or two and you did not realize it. I have received a few during the past week, let me share.
On Saturday, while grocery shopping, I meandered to the fresh produce area only to have an ongoing battle with a cellophane bag. I am speaking of those clear plastic bags on the cardboard roll near the bananas, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The ones that you must look at closely to know which end opens. After spending an undue amount of time scuffling with a bag, a gentleman near me handed me an opened bag. I am not sure if he thought I had poor fine motors skills or simply did not know how to open the bag, but he certainly made me smile. Today, I decided to go to the hairdresser after a year’s hiatus as a result of the Covid pandemic. I must admit, I was a little leery, my hairdresser had texted me 6 months prior to say the shop was open for business. My 8:00 a.m. appointment proved to be the highlight of my day! The shop’s owner and stylists welcomed me with cheery expressions and shared their concern about my absence. The owner said, “We just wanted to know if you were okay.”
My list of “orange sprinkles” could continue but I am sure you get the point; orange sprinkles happen when you least expect them. They make you smile and say “AWE!” Keep your eyes open for the orange sprinkles coming your way! Something wonderful happens every day!
#Orange Sprinkles!
