I am tired of talking about foursquare and how tired I am about seeing “Mayor updates” in my Twitter stream. The other day I took a picture and it made me think about it. I call this “I am the Mayor of this branch”.

If you notice there isn’t even a seagull around as they don’t care if this Yellow warbler is the Mayor of this branch. Actually I just needed a good excuse to post this picture.
Sometime the simplest thing can bring a smile.
I was at the airport waiting for my friend Jen who was flying in from Denver. While waiting at baggage claim I saw an elderly couple. They were there waiting for someone also.
What I didn’t know was they were waiting for their daughter and her husband. While I was standing there waiting all of a sudden I hear a lady yell OH MY GOD IS THAT THE BABY. With that I turned my head to see a grandmother seeing her grandchild unexpectedly for the first time.
The smile that was on her face totally made my day if not my week. The grandfather was next and it appeared that the young couple didn’t tell the grandparents they were bringing the baby.
The grandfather yelled at the son in law because he didn’t bring a car seat to get the baby back home. Luckily the stroller they had was also a car seat.
Sometimes life gives you these moments, you need to take the time to appreciate happiness even if it is not your own.
