A new day = new potential for an adventure.

As I do every morning I woke up at 6:45 so I could take my shower and eat a healthy breakfast and still be out the door in time to catch the 822 bus to BYU. arriving at BYU I board the 832 en route to the Timpanogos Transit Center where I will walk off that bus right onto the 850 Northbound that drops me off 100 yards away from my office. Easy routine right? I quite like it it never changes and is always the same. I can trust that my system will work. The funny thing about life is when you get comfortable with something to the point where it just becomes habit, life will shake things up a bit. Today I rode the bus to BYU got on the 832 as normal but instead of having Bob the friendly bus driver like I usually do I had instead who I will call Diane (I don't know if that's her real name is it relevant? I think not) Diane is  nice she greeted me with a smile and a "good morning" nothing too out of the ordinary. I took my usual seat next to the window and started working at my crossword 5 minutes went by and we still haven't moved. I looked up to see Diane doing her make-up in the rear view mirror! I was seriously thinking at this point are you kidding me?? I know that everyday is a new chance to meet your eternal companion but come on! No one boards the bus with the mindset of I think my future sweetheart might be the driver! I hope i don't miss the 850 because of this. Sure enough as we are pulling into the TTC the 850 is already gone i was 5 minutes late. I am a little peeved at this time cause that means I have to sit here for 30 minutes and stare at people. . As I was sitting by myself minding my own business and I probably had what my friends call "The Look" which is a look that says don't come and talk to me. I'm mean. Well a lady who I thought was Chinese came up to me and asked if I could help her with the schedule. I greeted her with a smile and said I would love to. She sat down next to me and  It turns out we would be riding the same bus. We both boarded and she motioned for me to sit next to her. I did and she started talking to me I found out that she is Korean and is from the Busan region. I told her that I had a couple of friends serve missions in that area and she told me that she was baptized a Mormon we talked the entire trip to my stop and asked each other questions about our backgrounds all through out the conversation she was giving me bananas to eat. I had 3 bananas before I got off the bus. I don't know what it is about me that says to complete strangers to come up and talk to me but it happens a lot. I can only smile and think that this will inevitably come in hand for the next 2  years. After getting off the bus I walked into my office in a completely different mood. What started out as annoyance towards Diane ended with me being in a very good mood because I had made a new friend. Life is funny how things work out. Everything happens for  a reason and now I'm grateful that my "schedule" was changed slightly. I doubt ill ever forget this experience, and will always be able to use it as an example of service charity, and missionary work. Every day is a new adventure in the game of life and i forgot that this morning. Its going to be cool what happens next. :)
