I returned from my dental cleaning appointment on my e-bike. My chosen route ran me right into Bob as he was beginning to take his afternoon walk. The impromptu rendezvous brought big smiles to both of our faces as we greeted one another.
I shared with him some of my impressions of having returned from our old neighborhood. Piles of trash stinking up the alleys, a lot of broken out windows boarded up after the most recent rampage of one drug addled vagrant, security guards and measures to protect the banks and businesses all made us more grateful for our present location. The joy of running into one another overshadowed all of those descriptions.
What’s it like when you return to your old neighborhood? How grateful are you for where you are now? Ki to Happiness appreciates the gift of the joyous rendezvous with my partner especially as we reflect on our good fortune of being here now, leaving the past behind.
