I've Got Sunshine On a Cloudy Day

Let's be serious, I was attracted to this bottle because of the color and the name. Green Fin White Table Wine in a green bottle with a green top. I was hesitant because I'm particular about white wine especially since I like things sweet. I figured if I didn't like the taste I could always cook with it so for $3.99 at the Trader Joe's Wine Shop in Union Square I couldn't refuse. I was very pleasantly surprised! I absolutely loved this wine! I can't wait to go back because I will be purchasing this again. It was not overly sweet but it was not overly dry either. It was a nice color and it is made from organic grapes! Overall I'm very happy I bought this wine and I will buy it again!

People come into our lives and people go. Some go far, far away. Some go away for good. Some leave footprints and others leave daggers, broken pieces. Some people leave loyalty, love, peace, knowledge, even fear or pride. Some people leave irreplaceable memories, some leave heartache we wish we could never remember. Some leave us smiles and warm hugs that we can always feel. People come into our lives and people go. And some people come back into our lives. Perhaps these are the people that always give us butterflies no matter how many times we see them. Perhaps these are the people that we can't quite let go of no matter how hard we try. Perhaps these are the people that we can recall the exact moment we met- where we were, what we were wearing, doing, saying. Whether it was "love at first sight" in the high school auditorium, a celebrity lookalike passing by, a random meeting on a dark street by a police car, or a one on one awkward hello in the school gym.

I was the lucky recipient of a random act of kindness the other day. Yes people hold the door for me and say "bless you" when I sneeze. But when my friends and I were out to dinner, an anonymous donor wished to pay a portion of our bill. It took us all by surprise. We could not figure out why it was us they had decided to help. After being taken aback and quietly thinking for a few moments, we decided it was because we are good people and good things happen to good people. It taught me a lesson though- not only did I say special prayers for them and thank them and wish good things to happen to them, but I learned it's time to pass it on. To pay it forward. When someone preforms a random act of kindness and you witness it, it means the only way to keep the peace in this world is to keep it going strong. Kindness. Pass it on.
