Each of us has things that we take for granted, but are special to others. Here's a prime example.
Yesterday morning, I had to return a product to a store for a refund, so I went to the store after work, got the refund, and went back home. Incidentally, this is probably one of my most documented shopping trips.
- I drove the car to the shopping center.
- I got to the shopping center.
- I returned the product and looked around the store.
- I walked back to my car, looking around some more as I went.
- I left the shopping center.
People in other parts of the world are probably dropping their jaws right now. "O," they are saying, "you could have gone on Soaring Over California but you passed it up?"
Don't believe me? Read this comment from Mrs. Loquacious:
I love Disney! I can't wait to visit the "happiest place on Earth" next summer...presuming I can figure out scheduling to go!
Well, I was at the happiest place on earth. And my scheduling had worked out (I suspect that if I had told my family I'd be home a little late, I'd get a free pass under the circumstances).
But I still passed it up.
So, my question for my readers: what is an extraordinary thing in your life that you take for granted?
