Fruit and Smiles

Thank you to the man selling me plums and apricots today in the flea market. Thank you for patiently placing half a kilo of plums and then half a kilo of apricots onto the scale, even though you had already packaged fruit via kilo kilo packets.

And mostly, thank you for the compliment about my smile.

I have had the worst week of 2007 I think. Well, wait, one week in March was quite tense. But this has topped it, in terms of my response to challenges. I am a fickle fickle student of spirituality and strength, because the moment there are more than three headaches pounding on my life, I lose it. And this past week was definitely a lost week.

So thank you, gentle soul, who provided me with a small bit of confidence about myself, that even if I fail at all the things on my plate, I still can smile and that adds some goodness to the world. Thank you, you have no idea what a shift in my attitude that brought me!
