The Search

Sometimes I get so wound up in my own self interests, that I forget about the people in my life. This includes family and friends.

This comes to mind after going to the mall with a friend and helping her look for a new dress to wear to her company’s Christmas party.

Believe it or not — I had fun. It has been ages since I’ve done something, anything out of the ‘norm,’ that I had forgotten what it was like.

While we were unable to find a suitable dress, I did realize the simple act of helping her, made me feel happy, energetic and creative. Who knew that a so-called ‘he-man,’ and ‘hard-ass’ male could enjoy himself in the women’s department.

Some may call it ironic — but I’ll simply say — it’s been a great day.
