Greatest Day Ever

It is only 9:40 and I have already had a fantastic day.  Seriously!  No matter what else happens my day was great.  About 8:30 this guy walks in.  He wants coffee.  Immediately, we hit it off.  Within the first few minutes of our conversation he mentions he was at the Ellen show for her 12 Days of Christmas.  Done!  At that moment we are bonded.  I, of course, get to share my Oprah story.  Patrick was at the Oprah show 6 times.  He also attended the Rosie show when she tried to launch a show with OWN.  We even discussed the fact that Rosie was so self destructive but we loved her.
Patrick has the greatest enthusiasm.  He bubbles with it.  We even high fived and hugged when he left.
 His husband is a farmer.  I was blown away.  Hard to imagine someone growing up on a farm having to come out to their family and community.  Must have been very difficult.  In our conversation he made me laugh so hard.  He brought tears to my eyes.  Two of the gifts they received at The Ellen show were very expensive scooters for kids.  One day they stood outside of Toys R Us.  Saw a family with two kids.  Gave them the scooters.  Paying It Forward.  Love it. 
Patrick promised he will always stop in for coffee when he comes into Dwight for work.
Everyday I have the potential to meet interesting and amazing people.  I am blessed.

Greatest Day Ever Continued -

Second person into the shop.  We are chatting.  It comes up that she owns the rural church outside of town.  She lives in the rectory.  Another great story.  You know the saying that everyone has a story.   I said, why did you buy a church.  She said, my husband was crazy.  She told the story of buying it.  There is a ghost that was a Priest at the church.  She said the first time her husband saw him he never would have believed it but their dog saw the ghost first and started barking and barking.  They have seen him several times.  Her husband passed away.  She is alone in the rectory house.  The church is empty.  When they first bought the property they would have craft shows in the church.  They gave tours of the church and grounds too.  Now that she is alone, she does not do anything with it.  Her daughters want her to move.  They think it is too much for her to handle.  She loves having all the property and not having neighbors. 
I have a great job!
