Lane Change

I was standing in line in "my market"..diverting between my desire for a heath bar and the knowledge that once I left the store the craving would dis-solve...

My final judgement was to place the the candy bar back along side its colorfully wrapped mates. The next woman in line approached me and praised me without hesitation for releasing the candy bar..

I realized it was a really kind evaluation that I was ready to hear..during another period in my life I would have become mortified and thought how is my choice of consumption her concern..

Now I think, a stranger complimenting another stranger ..HOW WONDERFUL!
