picking up the paycheck

I FINALLY had a weekday morning to myself, and I had this precious time planned out. I was going to pick up my check in Fullerton, open a new account with BOA, then head to work in Mission Viejo by 12:45pm.

But as I was walking out of Target in Fullerton, two young transients stopped me telling me they were hungry. I looked at them, and without skipping a beat, told them quickly: sorry, I'm in a hurry somewhere else. 

Yeah, the story didn't end there. But I'm always reminded of how inconsistent I can be. Today was a reminder to look UP from my busyness and errands. Look UP and around. Look UP and around. Look UP and around.
