Day Three.... It Is.... All About the Journey...

It was a beautiful, sunny, warm day.... My mind is racing, as I try and relay, all of the lessons, life taught me, today... { here is a 'droplet'...} 1. If you want a better price on something... don't pick it apart... say how much you really like it... then ask, for the best price... Chances are, you'll go home with it... happily... The other way, well, I'll send ya down the road, for a much nicer version, in much better condition...for a lot more money... but... it will be... 'perfect'.... Mine, well, it needs to stay here, after all, it really isn't good enough for ya, anyway... 2. I have a dear Customer, who is a Clergy...{ I don't belong to an organized religion, but I can recognize people who love God... and he's one of 'em...} I love him so... God sent him, my way, and now is sending him, to another location...{ he popped in, yesterday, and shared this new journey, with me...} It's funny... In total...over the last few years, I have spent less than a half hour with this amazing man... I am going to miss him so... It's a 'God' thing... I gave him, a treasured little Cross, I have had in the shop, for many years... Just wanted him to have a little remembrance... He popped in, again today, and as I walked him to his car, he showed me where he put it...it hangs, on his rear view mirror... I'll never forget him.... 3. I love this business... Love the people... After we all ran around, covering up stuff{ rain tonight...} We all sat around, visiting, in the sultry air, that makes the corn grow... sipping Margarita's that Tom and Paula brought, and discussing today's events... I realized, these are, 'the good old days'... How blessed we all are, to experience, another day, another breath, another conversation...and... be surrounded by friends...{ old and new} I guess, I really am, like the Mad Hatter... I wear my emotions, very, very close to the surface... I feel very blessed, today... Barb C.
