I saw my future today.
I was walking in the the grocery store picking up a few things and I saw this old couple. The man was pushing the cart. That's what I do.
The women was carrying the list, checking things off, and pointing at where to go next. That's what she does.
There were bring your own, be green, and love your earth bags in the cart. That's what we do.
The man was wearing a polo looking like a stud. Just like me
The women was wearing stylish trendy fun clothes. Just like her.
They than entered the check out line with me behind them. And yes I know this seems stalkerish, but it was mind boggling as I watched them.
He pushed the cart in with his wife in front as he stood back looking at the magazines and candy. Just like me.
She unloaded the grocery in neat little piles or organization. Just like she does.
They then paid and walked away.
I took care of my bill and walked outside and to my pleasant surprise they were right there.
He was there staring at her looking bored/confused/with a wondering gaze. Just like I do.
She was examining every line of the receipt making sure is was not one cent off. Just like she does.
He than pushed the cart away, this time forever. But I need to admit, I wanted to chase down the old man and give him a giant hug and just say "I understand, I get ya! I feel ya. You are my future, I am living your life old man!" I didn't do any of that though. I just smiled and felt content in my future. One I gladly embrace.
