Lottery
They say it takes losing something to realize what you’ve lost, to appreciate it. Well, I am thrilled that after the scare of not getting a license, not having this job, I get to keep Ft. Smith. In the beginning, it was “that 8 weeks in Arkansas I just have to put up with,” just a situation to close my eyes and stomp through as quickly as possible. Well, after thinking last week that I wouldn’t have a job this summer, no money to save, no way to pay mortgages, no way to have moving costs for New Zealand, Ft. Smith is suddenly the lottery.
The flies, smells, noises, heat, humidity, and lack of Thai food are really all tolerable now. There’s always that great coffee shop by the park (frozen mochas! free wireless!), the shady running trail with a gate that graciously eats the guilt of not running longer, oh, and the cheapest gas in 3 states. Maybe thanks to the Arkansas-born founder, there’s a Wal-mart on nearly every street, and these enthusiastic locals are so patriotic they’ve been shooting off fireworks every night for the past 4 days. What’s not to love??
Did I mention I’ll have new dumpsters soon?
Maybe as my lesson, from now on, when I’m in what seems like a boring, difficult, time- and soul-sucking situation, I’ll just imagine that it too is the lottery.
