What2Say2Day? OK! Last night was one of the more frustrating nights I've had in quite some time. I have a part time job in retail sales and I haven't been doing so well as of late which means commissions are, well, non-existent. A customer came in for, what was supposed to be, a rather routine sale. He and his wife chose their product and off we went - or not. It took me over an hour and a half (45 minutes of which was after the store had closed) to attempt what should have taken 20 minutes. I say "should have" because it didn't happen...yet. If it wasn't for the patience of this gentleman I was helping - not one negative word, not even after I forgot to give him back his driver's license and had to pull him out of his home to get it - I would have quit my job on the spot! The ride home with my wife helped, as well, with her calming spirit and open heart to listen to my frustrations. This morning, after a night of much needed deep sleep, I realized how much we all need each other. The tag line for my email is a quote from Mother Teresa, "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." Last night I belonged to a complete stranger and to my wife and they belonged to me. Who will you belong to today?
