Even though I awoke in a reasonably happy frame of mind, despite having a mild cold, I found my mood quickly deteriorating as I read through my morning emails. Among other things, there was: a supplier sending a bill of lading to me instead of our logistics person; another vendor sending something Next Day Air EARLY AM Delivery, instead of just regular next-day service (which cost us an additional 200 plus dollars.
So after walking Hunter to the bus stop, I continued on my morning walk with Mikey (our golden retriever), feeling in my heart the harsh jolt of adrenaline compounds that is the usual companion to most shittiness in life.
About halfway through our walk, I heard a repeated tapping noise. I turned toward the source of it and saw a little boy standing in the window of his house. He waved at us, and I waved back. Pretty miraculous how that little gesture improved my mood. I decided that the person who made the error with the shipping should be cut some slack. Because a little boy waved at someone walking by his house, someone else doesn't get an angry phone call.
