one legged man

About 2 days ago on a hot summer day , on my way to work i awaited for the go bus infront of my house. I was really dreading to go to work that day because it was so beautiful outside and i wanted to enjoy what we had left of this summer. Every day I wake up with the same thoughts, what will today bring ? I always want to be experiencing something new and it could be the smallest thing. Just something that can make me think , or bring a smile to my face. I'm a big believer in FATE and that everything happens for a reason well about 2 days ago i met a man who gernerally just started talking to me at the bus stop , he talked about how humans take advantage of the earth with all the polution and contamination and that we as humans are taking things for granted. He told me he loves the summer for one thing and thats because hes a gardener and that he loves to see the flowers bloom. He also talked about my area i live in and he said he use to live here in a nice quiet area but it was not as exciting as it is in the city (i agree). I didn't say much to things he had to say i enjoyed simply listening. Somehow the conversation lead up to him losing his leg and when he lost his leg he lost his wife..and i said i'm sorry to hear that , his respones was .."well thats life." After meeting this man and carrying on with my day I thought about what he had to say , it made me think about all the different people in this world and that everyone is going through there own stuggle just trying to be happy in life and that everyone has there own story to tell.
