On a recent trip to the grocery store (WinCo on Fairview and Milwaukee in Boise Idaho to be exact) I had three very pleasant interactions and thoughtful conversations that had me thinking of moments from my past, my current struggles, and a glimpse of a future with a bright and sunny attitude even when things are a struggle. Although I’m no Ebenezer Scrooge - I have been pretty grumpy for a while, having a hard time letting go of some things that really piss me off. And I can tell I’m choking a bit on a victim state with a couple issues in particular. I hate when there is a lack of resolution and I hate being taken advantage of. So, in the spirit of self reflection and a desire to move forward - I’m grateful for the people who were interactive in engaging with me with their personal life perspectives as I roamed about the store unsuspectingly.
