Watching people

If you are anything like me you can relate when I express my joy for people watching. There are few thing much more peaceful than sitting down in a busy area and viewing the numerous people as they hustle by. Being the Christmas season, it is the perfect time to do so. I find it mind boggling seeing so many faces and realizing that I am merely one soul in this huge world. So many individuals, so many personality, so any dreams, so many stories. I do not know any of these people, yet I can relate to each knowing that we are all humans. Their lives are unknown to me yet for one instance we are connected through the fact that we are sharing the same moment in time. It donned on me today that for all of the times that I sit and people watch, I myself is sometimes the one being watched. There is something refreezing about the fact that I live in a world where very few people know my story. I am just one of the many. One with my own fears, dreams, and passions.  

The next time you are out in the busyness of life, take a chance to sit and people watch. Grasp the unique opportunity to share a moment in time with a complete stranger and appreciate the uniqueness of each individual in our world.
