The High Road Has A Better View

I had the best day alone – sans Thanksgiving dinner!  Okay, I miss having my mom’s stuffing and the kids will be so welcome tomorrow, but hey, I had both a nap and time to read today.  Life is sweet.
A few times over the past few days, I almost felt sorry for myself, for a number of reasons.  But, when I woke up this morning, I was ecstatic to realize that I could gain strength from all that has occurred over the past few days.  Looking around, I found support in all quarters—officially and unofficially.  And, I'm totally comfortable letting the legal system do its thing.
Minor miracles occurred every few minutes or so.  Most amazing of all was that those customer care centers that typically cause me no end of irritation on a weekly basis for one reason or another in normal times, suddenly circled round and did the right thing to help me out—so thanks “Sam” and “Becky” in the Indian call centers—I wonder if they get to make up their own English name or have them assigned.  I can picture it—
Kralish, the Call Center Boss:  Rajan, your new call center name is Edelbert.
Rajan:  Edelbert, I do not want to be Edelbert!  I would much prefer to be “Bob”—why cannot I be Bob?  I really want to be Bob.  Please, please, I want to be Bob.
Kralish, the Call Center Boss:  Because I am Bob.  It is good to be King.
Rajan:  Okay, how about George Clooney?  Is that name available?
Continuing on the high road is an approach that has been working and will continue to work and will allow me to sleep well at night.  And, I am reminded daily that I am truly blessed.  And that is what I will focus on.
