Some Days Hold The Unexpected!

   Join us on Tuesdays with the Two Writing Teachers and others who post. 

 

      

      I could write about my credit card being compromised which meant I've had to wait for a new card, verify it, then communicate with all those companies that are on auto pay.

      I could share that I've been arguing with a certain insurance company to which I've paid on autopay through my bank for many years. Although my bank cleared TWO payments, one of which I do not owe, this company says I did not. They will only process through slow-mail. . .

       Really, both are not terrible things, and I'm grateful that the unlawful use of my card was caught immediately, but both take time and not time that's very fun, either. I am reminded of the Robert Burns' line from To A Mouse: 

                               "The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men/Gang aft agley"

Instead, I choose to share a couple of good things:

         A new book that I have for the granddaughters. Have you heard of this one: Strong Is The New Pretty by Kate T. Parker? I'm not reviewing, just sharing the title, and saying it's good. 

I think they'll like the book!

       The bookstore that I share about has lots of books, but it also has lots of geraniums, cared for by our manager. They thrive and bloom all seasons, and along with the books, give much pleasure. I was at the store a few hours today, and cleaned a few dead leaves and dropped blooms, enjoying my bit of inside gardening. Here's one photo.  

         Focusing on those nice things helps a bunch when things travel a different path than expected, right?
