My ST friends, I am a work in progress and sometimes I fail. I am sorry for my self-absorbed nature of my last post and I wish you all joy.

The sky was overcast with sporadic rain. My sportcoat had somehow attracted Pippin hair. I felt like I was inadequate today.
I stopped at the truckstop on the way out of town to Boise and got a coffee. I got in the longish line to checkout with my coffee. The woman at the register called out "Sir, is the coffee the only thing you are getting?"
Seeing no one else in line with a coffee, I said "Yes it is" She looked at me and made a little handwave motion to go ahead and get out of there.
Instantly, I realized I needed to get out of my grumpy ass head and appreciate the things I had. I didn't feel like I looked good enough for the opera, but I looked good enough to get a free coffee at the truckstop. And that is enough.
Looking at the world in a positive lens, I started feeling grateful for things again. I am so glad that the art scene in southwestern Idaho is so inexpensive to get into. I am glad for the rain as we will need all the water we can get in the summer. Things are good, life is good.
When the opera finally ended, I walked out of the theater and it was sixty degrees and sunny.
I wish you all joy today, tonight, and tomorrow.
