This is a recant of a moment this hit me the other day. Whether you take this as a piece of self help or a moment of inspiration motivation, well, that’s up to you. But if it says something to at least one person, then the intent here is done!
There I was, enjoying a quick lunch of ‘Clams and Chips‘ in a small, local seafood place. I don’t get a chance to eat seafood that much so when I do, I fully appreciate and enjoy my time. I mostly savor every bite. I settled into a corner table where I could see out the windows and watch the rain, while reading the final book of my Chaos Walking trilogy on my Kindle.
I took my time, reading my book, eating my lunch. As I was coming to the close of my lunch, I had just a few clams left. Two good sized and one tiny piece. I was so looking forward to these last two pieces. I had a lot of motivation to enjoying the meal and even more so in those last few pieces. Hence, I reached out, picked them up, and as I carried these two savory pieces of clam to their fates, I dropped them. I was holding them in such a way that they were pressed against each other between my fingers. They were very round and they rolled out of my grasp. Those two pieces that I had built up such an anticipation for, were gone. Rolling across the floor, and no, the public restaurant floor does not qualify for that 10-second rule.
