It’s happening right now as I’m journaling this entry. Something good is wrong with me. Today is April 1st. All jokes aside, I have discovered that my latest experience of ‘good’ just happened to me.
I am making chicken parmesan for dinner. I decided to throw my hat on and walk up to the store to get something that would go with it. But, I don’t want to spend any money. I have to allow myself to spend money on something I want rather than something I really don’t. I got all the way to Garfield when my choice fired a beautiful fireworks of bright ideas. I’m going to go to Kop Chai and get me their fresh garden salad rolls. Perfect.
I snaked my way back to Cedar Street. Entering the door, at 4:30pm, this place is packed! I was really proud! I walked up from where my friend Arie is busy busy with tea, orders, and deliveries. He hasn’t even made eye contact as he asked ‘How can I help you sir?’ Glancing away for just a brief moment, Arie’s head snapped back, “Hey bud, long time no see.” Arie proceeded to go back to work. He knew I wasn’t in any rush but he had customers. Arriving back at the POS, I respond to his question, “I just want your fresh spring rolls today, that’s it.” “That’s it?! That’s all you want?!”, Arie exclaims. Yes sir. Arie scurry’s into the back to retrieve a 2 pack fresh spring rolls and the two side sauces. He passes the rolls to me and says, “No charge. Enjoy.” I respond, “Thank you.”
I was grinning ear to ear so much so I took the long way home. This has been 2 straight very good weeks. Maybe that one event from work enabled me to move away from EC Thomas and start working on WC Thomas, but for the mean time, work EC hours with WC fortunes. I have nothing else to be afraid of; the universe and I are in sync. Is this the highest I can achieve?
