Katie said to me on Monday, “There was something in your fridge I couldn’t identify.”
I said, “Was it green?”
“Yeah. I think it used to be a vegetable.”
“It was a cucumber – the beginning of October.”
Hysterical laughter.
I am trying to practice thankfulness. Today’s thank…. Hot shower. Oh, oh, the beauty of a hot shower.
I have heard that SOME people’s fridges never have interesting experiences of this nature. Never actually met such people.
Today I am trying to practice mindfulness. It’s hard, when I am not able to keep October’s cucumber (or equivalent) in mind. Today’s mindfulness is from Philo of Alexandria – interesting dude, dead these two millennia. “Be kind,” he said. “Everyone you see is fighting a great battle.” I had cause to be mindful about that yesterday when a guy in a pickup pulled up alongside and started shouting obscenities at Loki. Loki returned in kind and I told the guy he was beautiful but needed dental work. I think he was too apoplectic to take in either but the body language probably gave our thoughts away.
I like that quote. Thank you Nautilus3.
