Before we moved to Melissa, Texas we lived in North Dallas. There was a shop we frequented, I can’t remember if it was the dry cleaners or a donut shop, but we stopped there quite often.
The woman who checked us out was Asian, and she would complete our sale with a big smile and say “HAVE A DAY!” The kids thought that was a standard greeting, and on weekends, when Doyle had to go to the store, they would give him hugs and send him off with greetings of “Have a day Daddy ! Have a Day!” We still say it to this day. You can only imagine my delight when I came across these QC reject sandwich bags on a Dollar Tree shelf ! I can hear the meeting in the factory……”You printed HOW many of these ? Crap, these are going to the Dollar Tree l”
A current mantra is ” Don’t look back, don’t look forward, be in the now. Breathe” In today’s crazy, mixed up, divided world, I find looking back to be the one of the few things that allows me to breathe. Have A Day !
