Looking at a Rat

Tonight as I was coming home from small group, I stepped onto the platform and waited for the G train. And waited. There was some type of alarm going off--sounded like an alarm that would go off if you went out an emergency exit only door--but much louder. It didn't stop.

Then I remembered that my son got me an ipod nano for mother's day. Since I was previously on the train with friends, I didn't think to use it. But the annoying alarm sound helped me to remember. I promptly put it in my ears and was swept away with Coldplay.

As I continued to wait for the G (seriously 6 A/C trains came and left before the G arrived!) and enjoy my music, I played my favorite platform-waiting game that I like to call "What can I find on the tracks?" And one of my favorite things was on the track, a rat. As I stood looking at the rat, I broke out into a smile, and then it hit me. My life is interesting. In a way I never would have imagined. I am happy.
