Not long ago I was having lunch with some friends at The Evergreen Pub & Grill in St. Charles. We were sitting in the patio area, more or less enjoying the Spring weather.
Out on the street two beer trucks passed each other, headed in opposite directions. They both honked their horn in what sounded like a friendly wave or fist bump.
That’s sharing a common goal. Not selling more beer, but making the world a better place.
I can always be friendly. We’re all playing on the same team.
This scene is my truck. I’m barreling north on Randall Road and need to turn left at the next intersection. There’s a handful of cars that are also barreling south toward the intersection. Because everybody’s got to get to work.
The light is green for both sides. Timing will be close but the southbound traffic has the downhill advantage. I add a little acceleration to the equation. A little horsepower to even the odds.
The light turns yellow so I slow down and then stop at the red light.
I’m always grateful when the cosmos saves me from myself. ๐
Shit. I’m purposely trying to ignore that place’s existence because I know it’ll make me spend an amazing obscene amount of money. *Sigh* I guess I need to go now. Damn it, damn it, damn it!
That’s not a judgment call or me being hard on myself. It just is. I’m just another guy wandering around aimlessly doing my best…and sometimes doing my least.
Struggling to maintain that non-mistake-making state only makes my life harder. Letting that struggle go gave me so much more free time to enjoy life and the company of my fellow humans.
