Brake Lights
This is another excerpt from my daily journal, it happened back in May. I was having a very long day and was just in a crummy mood, so naturally I got stuck in traffic on the way to visit Amy and Kayla. Nothing makes a bad day better than sitting in traffic, especially if it’s not moving at all. It turned out the police and paramedics had actually closed down the entire freeway. Once I had given up and made my way to the off ramp I saw why, it was a six car accident with a lot of people seriously hurt. I instantly felt bad that I was getting so angry about the traffic.
Your day could always be worse. It’s all a matter of perspective.
Living the Dream
Restoration
This is another excerpt from my daily journal, it happened back in April. For whatever reason I decided to put my faith in total stranger and he didn’t let me down. I spent the remainder of the evening amazed that he didn’t drive away with my new lawn mower. I guess it’s true that people usually do have the best intentions at heart. This being the cynical world that it is, overrun with a constant stream of bad news and crisis, it can be easy to forget that good things and tiny kindnesses happen everyday.
It’s truly amazing what the day can bring. It’s even more amazing what a simple act of kindness can do.
Fortune Cookie
This is an excerpt from a daily comic journal I’m working on currently which I guess is a continuation or sequel to Fear of Flying (if one can make a sequel to a journal comic collection that is). I wrote this entry in January so I guess the unemployment thing was more like two years ago now but, I do still have that fortune. It’s a good reminder.
Hope can come in strange places sometimes.
