Everyone does something they are proud of once in a while, but mostly no one else pays much attention to it.

Things just go along in an every day way. Nothing unusual, or spectacular happens.

Until one day a friend texts you, "I saw your picture, congratulations!"

You look all over the Internet trying to figure out what she is talking about and finally have to text back, "Um, I really have no idea what you are talking about. Where did you see my picture?"

It turns out that after years volunteering at jobs you deem important enough to keep on doing, you spend a few hours doing something else and someone takes your picture.

At some point someone asks if it was okay to use your picture. It is a general question and you have no problem with it, so you say yes.

And there you are. No makeup, hair slicked over to the side, wearing an old Henley shirt. A face almost bigger than life on the cover of a magazine! To be fair it does not say who you are and it is for a good cause, but you don't even recognize yourself until someone else points the way.

Strange how things happen.
