I was headed into the Bristol, Virginia Exit 7 area this evening.    As I entered the Walmart/Lowe’s/Sam’s Club area (going to see my True Love), someone took my “spot” when I was supposed to be having “my turn”  going through the four-way stop.    Obviously, this person, I’ll call “Rude Boy”  did not know how to drive!!

I went after him and grimaced as I realized Rude Boy and I were both headed toward Lowe’s.    Destiny.    We then met again at check out.  More destiny.  

While in the check out line, another shopper offered to let me move ahead since I had only one item.  I thanked her and said “Merry Christmas.”  It felt good.   Almost at the same moment, another customer asked the check out clerk to call for assistance as an item was “up too high for her to reach.”   Rude Boy, who just completed his purchase said “I’ll go back and help you.”   The lady said “thank you, and Merry Christmas!”   He said “Merry Christmas” to her…and nodded to me.   I went from looking like a skulking Grinch to ashamed Grinch.    I hate mean people…especially when they are me!!

Time for a turnaround.  My good mood switch turned on.  Immediately.  All these “Merry Christmas” words.    It’s that feeling I had last night when I was looking…and thinking…about this.

I sang Christmas carols all the way home.   No one heard or saw me, but I’m pretty sure I was  really good!

I skipped into the house and looked at last night’s Mod Podge work.    Do you think my niece, Jennifer, will like this?   Her twin babies keep her way too busy to read the blog.

I’ll finish  these tomorrow!
