Do the Motions or the Solution?

Today, they came again. I know. Sounds like the start of a great sci-fi novel. But no, it was just the glass people. This time, the person they sent was C and he decided not to leave until my leak was fixed. Finally someone who saw beyond the work.

It took a bit of fiddling but he tested it three or four times and my car didn't leak. Holy Hannah! I don't know if it will hold but it did make me feel slightly (begrudingly) better about the company.

I have to remember C and his lesson of do the solution. I hear the same thing day in and day out. And they are just like me. I just wanted a solution. It takes a bit to get there but it can be done.

I also got to do a storytime today. My second in the last two weeks. Trust me, after months of nada, this is like butter.... : P I really enjoyed it and the kids seemed to as well. We talked a bit about Black History Month. And peace. Todd Par has a book called the Peace Book. He talks about what peace is... you know peace is hugging a friend or keeping the streets clean or pizza enough for everyone in the world. Who knew pizza was another world for peace? Hmmm... Pizza Hut ambassadors? It is interesting to be talking about how alike we are but how special at the same time.

I get so busy sometimes that I forget to remind myself about my specialness. I have a special way of reading. I change my voice and movements to match the story. I have a special talent for talking to all sorts of people. I have a special way of looking at the world. I have a special voice and brain that can remember all sorts of weird and interesting facts. Did you know you can not sneeze with your eyes open? Or that nothing rhymes with orange?

Good night and enjoy the coolness of me and of you.

Hooorah! Glad you window keeps the rain out now.

Peace is whacking your enemy over the head with a tire iron so hard that he can never ever fight you again.

You are unique and special.
