Thursday night was such a great evening with New. It started at about 7:30 upon our arrival into the out door mall near by, its huge and hard to explain. We got some smoothies and then bought incense by then it was 8 and... every store was closed. We weren't leaving until about 9:30 so we didn't know what to do. As we passed by the apple store we saw a decent line forming outside, we quickly made the connection that it was the people waiting to get the new iPhone 5. We of course sat down and joined them, New started up a nice conversation and we made a new friend with the guy next to us. He was slovakian and has only been here a few months. He was a great new friend. We had people come up to us and ask us what we were in line for (dumb asses couldn't figure it out) and we would tell them different things such as, "this is the drug line" and "I'm not sure, we woke up here and weren't quite sure what was going on and saw all of these nice people in line and joined them." WWe really enjoyed our stories. A new guy came and sat on our other side and after awhile some man came up to him and they started talking and the guy was pretty creeped out and then the man says, "I would like to invite you to a little party down town at the Lutheran church can i get your number." The guy handled it like a total pro and eventually the creepy man left and we turned to him and we like, "that was bizarre u handled it well" etc. and he was like, "Its a first." WIth our Slovakian friend we began to discuss whether we should light some incense or not (btw New was under the impression you could smoke it...) and then the guy invited to the party gives us a lighter. We were thrilled and then that awkward moment when we can't work it. "You want to do it?" and the slovakian friend, "You don't know how to work this?" New:, "I don't smoke!" So we learned from this new friend of ours how to work this kind of lighter. My mother than informed me that she could come and get us so we told her to pick us up a block away and told the new friends that we were going down to san diego by metro and left. I decided to tell you this because it was such a superb night and I think it emphasizes one of my favorite life rules; to LIVE IN THE MOMENT! if you don't you have no idea all the things you will loose.
In what ways could you open up more to help you live in the moment?
