A Slice of a Day
How it is difficult to maintain a peaceful mind.
A deli in the afternoon. I finally get to my turn to order as a man saunters in and goes, “A meatball sandwich with extra sauce.”
A pause.
“Let me have a panini with turkey and swiss cheese,” I order.
The man turns and looks at me and says, “Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”
“It’s ok.” I smile… but am I really smiling?
