Hot Rod Grandma

I've been going through some melancholy lately.  Nothing serious, just not my usual fun loving self.  This gray cloud of doom has been hanging over my head every since I broke up with Darrell.  My daughter says I am a "people pleaser" and "people pleasers" sometimes cannot full fill their pleaser duties.  I failed terribly and can't say "I'm sorry" enough but that doesn't change the fact that I did what I had to do because I did not feel the same way that Darrell did. 

Today, while stopped at a street light, I glanced over at the car next to me.  Two young men looked over at me and mouthed "Wanna drag?"  I had to laugh as I gave them the thumbs up.  The light turned green and with a squeal of wheels this Grandma left them standing still.  I slowed down and waited for the young men who were laughing also.  They both gave me a thumbs up and we parted ways most likely never to see each other again. 

Sometimes something small and insignificant can completely change the course of the day.  I am now singing The sun will come out tomorrow, betcha bottom dollar that the sun will shine.
