Inside The Pretty Package

So, I was sitting here this morning, thinking about love. How people meet. How sometimes you know, this is it, while other times, it’s just a friendship that happens.

I love to people watch. I do this whenever I am out alone, shopping or stopping for a meal. I just watch.

I have seen beautiful women with a frog of a counterpart. I have seen a drop dead gorgeous man with his average female mate. And I have seen two average people just so deliriously happy, that I began to understand the real truth of love.

Listen up, kids. This is important stuff here.

You see, it matters not what is on the outside. Sometimes the best presents in life come in plain packaging.

My grandmother used to tell me all the time, that eventually even the most beautiful face fades. The real key, the real trick, is to remember to always look inside the package for the truth.

A beautiful soul can brighten up a life. That loving soul, can see beyond the shell and life can be even more wonderful than one can ever imagine.

I wish my Grandmother was here and I could tell her that I finally, honestly, understand what she told me, all those years ago.

I get it, Grandma!
