One fine sunny summer morning there sat two woman at a bus stop. One was young one whom looked like she was going to work the other was middle aged and she was dragging a cart like she went for groceries.

The young woman had a lot of coffee awaiting this bus so she found herself talking the older woman’s ear off. The older woman was just happy to talk to another woman as if she did not have that happen too often. She just listened to this eccentric young woman. After all the nonsense she finally asked the older woman what are u dragging around there. She explained this is how she went for groceries every week with a total of two trips just to get them all home. The young woman’s mouth dropped she was astonished that this woman did this every week for groceries it was quite a journey just to get two carts of groceries home. The young womans brain started to stir for ideas to make it easier. She asked if a bike with a bigger drag along cart would be possible. the older woman looked At her as if she was joking and said oh I’m too old. The younger woman proceeded to tell her that she biked to her job 37 miles away but today she rode the bus due to her legs being so sore. The older woman was surprised and before she could say anything the bus stopped and their attention was drawn to the next passenger that was getting on the bus. It was a younger man who had crutches having a hard time getting his change he had a wrapping on his foot he put his money in after several min and sat down in front of the two women. The young woman leaned over ,without missing a beat and said “are you faking that injury to get reduced fare “ he started to laugh and so did the Older woman. After they wiped the tears from their eyes the older woman told the younger one “wow you are so brave, you can just talk to anyone and you ride your bike with all these crazy drivers”.”I wish I was as brave as you are. What’s your sign? The young woman answered “Aquarius” and proceeded to say “that’s not brave” this was just her life her everyday. She asked the older woman “what’s yours”? “I’m a Leo, but I’m not anything like my sign“ she answered. The young woman looked at her confused. Then said”are you kidding the female always makes the kill to feed the pride,and look at what your doing you taking this long journey to get food for your family no matter how difficult and dangerous (referencing the crazy drivers).” “You are so a Leo”! The older woman looked at her astonished again as if she just saw her true strength,something that has gone overlooked and unappreciated for so long. Her face lit up and she smiled at the young woman as if she gave her a million dollars. She said “well this is my stop, I hope you have yourself a wonderful day.”the young woman wished her the same and they both parted ways. The young woman still has never forgotten that moment in her life she thinks about her a lot because since then she has been spreading awareness random people. Awareness for what you ask, well just awareness of self, Powers within all of us, And of course worthiness. No matter what and who tries to make u feel your not remember you are worthy.
