My heart was full and my mind was amazed at what had just taken place. Was this for real? Is this how easy it is? It must be because it just happened. I laughed the rest of the way home, glad I had unloaded the heavy bottles. Who would have thought? Or “who would have thunk?” as my kids said.
I went to the grocery store, as usual. It was a beautiful store. Dominicks in Chicagoland. It had everything, like a Jewel, Publix, Albertsons, and the like.
I did my usual shopping, browsing the produce, taking my time, thinking about what I’m going to make. Then I picked up three gallons of water, like I did in the past when I made formula for the babies, (they were so allergic, and my production didn’t cut it). I felt nothing out of the ordinary during my entire shopping session, until I got to the car and loaded everything into the trunk. Then it hit me. I don’t need water for formula anymore. What was I thinking?
By now I was ready to go home and the thought of going to the returns was just drudgery x 100, so I just thought: “Ok, I just wasted $5 on water, so what, I’ve done worse” and headed home.
Turning into our neighborhood, (left turn lane off a busy highway) I see a car with the hood lifted up. Usually, I don’t stop because I have no clue about auto mechanics. Today, I call out the window. “Do you need water?” He replied, My radiator something or another, so I asked “would water fix it? He said YES, so I pulled over and handed him the bottles.
“I guess these are for you…”
“Can I pay you? “
“Nope”
So I laughed and felt rich and full all the way home.
