My mother, sister, dad and I went out to dinner late the other night and I saw this gentleman sitting at a table all by himself enjoying a birthday ice cream sundae. I just lost it. I started crying because it made so sad to see him all alone on his birthday yet he was so happy. All week I had been stressed with homework and I was really thinking about how much my ankle hurt. I was being so whiny and complaining a lot about little things but then I saw this man. He was all alone on his birthday yet he was completely content with everything. He made me realize nothing is ever really that bad because I am surrounded with people who love and support me. He also helped me learn that happiness is a choice. He could've been supper bummed and upset because he was alone but he chose to enjoy himself and have a little fun. We told our waitress to charge us for his sundae but it was on the house. When we were leaving I walked over to him and said happy birthday. Even though that is all I said his eyes filled with joy and he had they biggest smile. This was a little while ago but I still think about him. I will never forget this n I wish I knew his name. I hope to see him again someday. This dude rocks and I hope he had a great birthday.
