A comedy of errors

[duriyah]

My afternoon was a comedy of errors. First the paint guy at Lowe's gets my order wrong, in two ways. I wanted a gallon of the blue paint and a quart of the green. He gives me a quart of the blue and a gallon of the green. Once we got that straightened out I realized he'd given me the lighter color of the green and the darker shade of the blue,

I felt sorry for the African cashier, because they don't have potatoes in Africa. He likely had never seen one before.

your story made me smile. when we're in a good space, it's nice to see others in this light you're using. i've been like that. i have no idea what happened! i'm just not as easy going right now, but i will be again.

I'm glad I made you smile :)

I was surprised at how lightly I took everything, actually. It has only been in the last few years that I could have found that space at all, and many days it is beyond me. I think the African man's sincerity and sweetness helped a lot.

Cycles come and cycles go. You will find yourself more easy-going again one day.

This story made me smile. The poem in your profile is one of my favorites. We both list Emily Dickinson and The X-files as interests. May I friend you?

I have read a few of your entries and it looks like we do have some commonalities. I love the Dickinson poem you quoted, "The heart asks pleasure first." Friend away!
