Gotcha, I bet some of you were thinking this post would be about that quote from Monster’s Ball when Halle Berry was all begging for the..., well, you know the movie.?!

In reality, this post is about those rare, but precious moments when something happens in life that makes you feel truly special or good inside. I had ones of those tonight. I went to go grab Chinese food from the drive thru Chinese joint, and I threw in a wonton soup. When I got home, I let it cool, while I added another coat of paint to my bathroom accent wall. After, I grabbed the soup and started scrolling through social media, because that’s what humans do in 2019...
As I’m chowing down, I realized that I had eaten two wontons, and there was another one remaining. Here’s the backstory, wonton soup from this restaurant only comes with two wontons. There has never been in the history of this restaurant when my order has had three wontons, over a span of about 15 years.
So, you can imagine to my surprise that there was a THIRD wonton! 🥟🥟🥟
I instantly felt a smile come over my face, and I just thought about how my life has been in a bit of a stressful place, but there are still people thrown my way, unexpectedly, who offer a kind gesture. Unknowingly, that drive thru Chinese food restaurant employee cheered me up over here!!
Then, of course, I couldn’t help but think, did she think I was hot or something? I mean, all she knows about me is that I bought a shit-ton of Chinese food, and I smiled a little. If she only knew that I’m sorta going through a new transition in life and there are moments lately where I haven’t felt so very cheery and upbeat about the whole flow of my life. But, that’s okay...because life ebbs and flows. It’s all good in the hood. 😎
