I took this picture last night of the little storage shed Lennis built for me several years ago. I was going to toss the shot seeing how distorted and twisted and out of focus it was, then I thought about my day yesterday, and realized this shot reflects the kind of day I had yesterday.
It started out like any other day, although I did have one of those weird inner sight feelings to stay home, but ignored those intuitive feelings and scurried out the door. So much to do you know with Christmas coming!
Dropped by my bank to make a deposit. The friendly bank clerk, Juanita, always smiling, always happy, she's a jewell. Proceeded up the hill to head to the Vintage Market, oh, this is slick I thought to myself as I skidded toward the stop light. Just sitting, thinking, waiting for the light to change and, BAM! Not again! I think to myself. Step out, look at the guy that hit me, look at my little car and his big JEEP and see my little bumper cracked from end to end. Thinking, I knew I should have stayed home today, I just knew it!
Then later that day, I am desperately looking for a T. Gift Card I purchased last week. No card, anywhere, money just tossed out the door! Depressed!!
Lennis was off and talked me into going Christmas shopping, thought it would cheer me up. Stopped by J.C.---- to pick up a comforter that Patrick had requested on his Christmas list. Write a check out of my business account and hand it to the nice girl, and hear her say, "sorry Mam, we don't take company checks"! "Oh really, I say in astonishment, because I'm thinking to myself, why on earth not?" Lennis came to my rescue on this one.
Feeling a little down, I told Lennis I just wanted to go home... I'm expecting a coffee order to arrive today, and should probably be there when it comes. Later that day, all day, into night, no coffee. Orders will have to wait!
After unwinding that late afternoon and reflecting on the day, I began to ponder some thoughts, you know how I am!
My first thought was, what if that guy knocked me harder, then I would have been bumped into the heavy traffic into the major highway, and probably would not be telling you about my day yesterday.
Second thought, I think I'll check out T's web site and see what kind of policy they have on their gift cards. Low and behold that red and white colored company honors lost and stolen cards, wow!
Third, I realized my bad day makes so many others bad days look like a vacation! I'm going to call my coffee customers and tell them the coffee will be in tomorrow!
Fourth, after taking that picture last night, I also took this one.
This shot better sums up how I feel now!
Enjoy caring and sharing holi-DAYS.
Happily,
