Tour guide

I've been taking in life a lot more lately. I guess you could use the word deeper to solidify what I am trying to convey. I have been breathing in life a little deeper.

I got done with most of my work by 4PM today. There was a family who returned a car and asked me what they should do for the rest of the day. I decided to take them on a short tour of our city! I realized that I know a lot about this place. The mini tour encouraged me to find out more about where I live such as the architecture, the history of certain places, timeline and dates of certain events, etc. I am a details girl. I love hearing a good story. If you have stories, I am the girl who will listen.

So here I was, practicing the role of tour guide to 4 NY strangers. They were offering me information about their idyllic small town in NY called Bronxville, not to be confused with the Bronx. haha. I took them through downtown, through the Avenues, up around the canyon, around the State Capitol, down State Street and back to Temple Square. They offered me a tip but I refused. I thought about it after and thought, I wonder if they knew I am LDS? I hope they think about it and their thoughts about Mormons are positive ones. Then the thought hit me, the glory be to God. I didn't do this act out of some selfish desire to exalt myself. I saw a need and a want and I had the means to produce a desired outcome and I wanted to help. Anytime I see an opportunity to help, I take it. Sometimes the problem isn't providing the means, sometimes it's my vision.

"Run"
by Collective Soul

Are these times contagious
I've never been this bored before
Is this the prize I've waited for
Now as the hours passing
There's nothing left here to mature
I long to find a messenger

Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Yeah, I run [x2]

Is there a cure among us
From this processed sanity
I weaken with each voice that sings
In this world of purchase
I'm going to buy back memories
To awaken some old qualities

Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Yeah, I run [x2]
Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Yeah, I run [x4]
