Unusual!

 “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work” 

~ Thomas Edison

My day began as most every Saturday does.

I drove Susan to the shop,picked up her breakfast and then set out to start my day.

Today that included going to finish cutting the grass at the home of one of the seniors on my route. She has sold her house and is in the last stages of moving out.Thankfully, we are nearing the end of this project (remember.....no good deed goes unpunished!)

After finishing her lawn and handling a few odds and ends for her ,including disconnecting a t.v. and loading it into her son's car for her, and before heading home, I reached out to another one of my bus patrons who has been m.i.a. for over 2 months now. 

A series of medical issues have kept her from coming to the center since back in March.I had met up with her earlier in the week and by all reports she was well on the way to recovery. Since I was in the area, I called to see if she wanted to meet me at the coffee shop next door to her building. 

She had just come back from the oral surgeon who had taken care of a tooth she broke last night but was so thrilled to hear from me.

We spoke for a few minutes and made tentative plans to get together later in the week. 

Before I hung up she reiterated how glad she was that I had called and thanked me once again adding "you are such an unusual person!".

Kiddingly ( hiding my humility) I chuckled and acknowledged that yes indeed I am unusual....that's certainly one way to describe me!.

She protested insisting she meant it as a compliment and I smilingly said I knew that and was just playing with her.

Unusual?

I kind of like that.

It brought me back to something I wrote earlier this week.

 I am good at being me.

And maybe that means being unusual?

I can live with that!

Shabbat Shalom!
