Day 24 - Quencher

This post is a bit of a cheat. I'm posting it a little early because I'm going on a trip and may be pressed to find internet. I will continue to capture images and write about them daily, but they may not be posted until I get back.

My boyfriend saw this and it was just too interesting to pass up. How clever is the marketing guy at this fast food place that they label the drink lids this way. We ordered a large, but the lid that fits is in the "Quencher" stack. Maybe it wasn't the marketing people, but some smart@$$ college student enjoying their job. Either way, I applaud the wittiness and appreciate the chuckle we enjoyed. 

Ya see, too many people take things too seriously. I can say that because I'm one of those people, depending on what day it is. Time to pay bills, talk about money, make a big purchase/life decision, or anything dealing with getting into nursing school and there are no jokes that will snap me out of the serious mode. As for most other situations, I can find humor in just about anything. I can balance the need to complete the task efficiently with enjoying the process. 

This wasn't always so. I was WAAAAAYYYYY uptight. I was young and thought those little things mattered. Now I've learned, or been taught, that the little things should be enjoyed. Those big things I mentioned, they shouldn't be taken lightly, but could benefit from a deep breath taken and a sincere thought added. After that, you realize some things just don't matter. Also you can now clearly focus on the things that do.

I'm a work in progress, so yes, that not-so-relaxed "Bitty" rears her ugly head every once in a while and my sweetie, very gently but quickly reminds me of the particularly unattractive nature of that beast and I recognize. I wouldn't want to be around her, why should I expect anyone else to tolerate her, especially the people I love. I don't like being told that I can be harsh, but more over, I don't like the people I love being stomped on, even by me. Another step in the progress of my growing up.
