What Can Happen In A Second?

What can happen in a second..like really?

I can think of a few things…

You can blink in a second
You can imagine a new thought
You can change your mind
You can breathe a new breath
Flick a fly off the wall

Say yes to something you were going to say No to
Someone says the words ‘hi’ to you while you wait to order coffee

Well, that is what happened to me in a second. Some guy did say hi.

I am the coffee girl at my work. Mind you, I don’t drink coffee myself. I was just in my own little world waiting in line at the cafe that I do my usual coffee run at when a bloke turned around to say ‘hi’.
Now I had shared a lift with this guy. And he works at my work but we never come into contact with one another cos I have no need to. But he has an awesome laugh. All of my colleagues agree it just makes you smile when you hear it.
So I had my trusty post it note with everyone’s orders on it doing my own thing when Jack* (lets call him that) turns around and introduces himself. I didn’t know his name and found out he was scottish and worked in the number crunching business. He seemed nice and it was cool to get to know another face. I will find out more about Jack, but for now, it was an introduction.

That’s what can happen in a second. You can meet someone you never thought you would ever meet. Who knows, it could turn out to be the most amazing person you could have in your life or it could just be the chance encounter that inspires a wonderful day.

Don’t discount the seconds. Seconds become minutes too.
