I was sitting in my car at a stoplight intersection listening to the radio. I was, I guess, lost in the moment, thinking how happy I was to be inside my nice warm car. It was cold and windy outside, and I thought, "Life is good."
Now this was a long light. As I waited, I noticed two people huddled together at the bus stop.
To my eyes, they looked uncomfortable; they looked cold and they looked poor. Their coats looked like they came from a thrift store. They weren't wearing stuff from the Gap. I knew it because I'd been there.

this couple seemed to be doing their best to keep warm. they were huddled together and I thought to myself, "ho those poor people in that punishing wind".

But then I saw their faces. Yes, they huddling, but they were also laughing, they looked to be sharing a good joke, and suddenly instead of pitying them,I envied them.

I thought,"ah what's so funny". they didn't seem to notice the wind. They weren't worried about their clothes, they weren't looking at my car thinking "I wish I had that"
