One of those times...

You know... one of those times you wish you'd been recording what you saw as you went about your day.  Here is a picture to ponder in your mind...

I'm driving down the road and came along an area with a sidewalk for the neighborhood beyond.  I can see a young woman and a little girl out for a walk.  The little one couldn't have been more than 2 1/2 years old. 

What caught my attention as I approached was the determined little walk of the girl.  She had on cute capri length pants and a wavy brim sun hat.  She was marching along next to her Mom - but not holding her hand.  This itty bitty girl was walking with purpose!  She was going places.

I'm already smiling to myself as I watched them approach because I love to see brave and powerful little girls. 

I didn't think it could get any better than this...but to top it off... as I came close to pass them - she looks up - directly at me - and her little arm shoots straight up with her hand spread in a great big "how ya doing - have a great day" kinda wave!

I have smiled all day...
