ordinary miracle

Just another ordinary miracle today...

• Drove my daughter to preschool and was on time. 
• Paid her tuition on time.
• Told a young mom that her infant is cute.
• Went to Target to buy ONE thing...laundry detergent.
• Fought off the urge to buy something at Starbucks.
• Told a grandma that her infant is adorable. (No, we are not gonna have any more babies.)
• Made the checkout guy laugh with my one item purchase. He said, "Gonna do some laundry?" I said, "My goal was to walk in to buy one thing and walk out with only one thing." He said, "Oh! Good job. Stay out of trouble!" I said, "Not only will I stay out of trouble, but I'll be doing some laundry. What more can a husband want??" He laughed. I told him not to give me a plastic bag. "I forgot my reusable bag in the car so please, I don't need a bag." He gave me the receipt and let me walk out with my Tide.
• Outside Target, I signed 10 petitions. What were they? I don't know. They all sounded good. Asked the guy questions about himself. He answered them and said, "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"
• Listened to a guy talk about his thoughts on global warming. He didn't think that we, as humans, could cause global warming.

I might not be able to talk intelligently about global warming. But I can be nice. And being on time is a miracle for me...but I smile at everyone. Sometimes I can get some nice smiles back. Sometimes.
