This morning, I placed the grocery gift card in an envelope on the seat of an empty bus stop. I addressed it to "Whoever finds this" and in the "from" field, I wrote "??"  This particular bus stop is across the street from the soup kitchen. Although the soup kitchen itself isn't open on Saturdays, there was some sort of free breakfast in that space today, sponsored by another community group. So I hope the card found its way to an appreciative home.

Later, I took a photo for a tourist couple. Haven't done that in a while. There were a few opportunities, but for various reasons, I balked (including one that involved a serious pro camera I wasn't sure I knew how to use)...until this one.

I was grumpy today, and I spent a lot of energy focusing on something that totally wasn't in my control. Every so often, I'd snap out of it and remember to appreciate the many, many positive aspects of the situation, or to remind myself that feeling grumpy wasn't actually accomplishing anything... but my mind was chewing thoughts like a dog with a bone, and eventually, I just accepted, "Okay, this is how I feel today" and got on with my tasks. That's not my ideal way of dealing with moodiness, but it works better than struggling against it. This, too, shall pass.

Hope you all had good Saturdays! Cheers!

I was right there with you today, I called it being "edgy". I love the gift card idea and the way you put it out there...it'll be a nice surprise. Take care...you handle everything with grace, you are allowed a little "edgy" day now and then....hugs..

As usual, you gave very thoughtful and meaningful gifts.  I think sometimes we do just need to accept our feelings -- maybe you truly needed to contemplate the situation today.  I hope tomorrow will be a more cheerful day for you!
