Kmart and Me

Today I went downtown to 34th and 7th to buy some bling. My initial destination was Macy's but the crowds were too dense and they were only offering 30 or 40 per cent off jewelery.
I hit the jackpot at Kmart. They were offering a whopping 75% off all jewelery.
I bought three things. A gold ring with a cross embedded in it. I bought this ring to remind me of a very kind and gentle man I knew who was very generous with me this Xmas. In fact of all the doctors and lawyers and so called professionals I know this man, a little slow, had more class than all of them put together. With this in mind I decided to purchase a ring that would remind me of him. It was a total surprise to me that such a ring could even exist. But there it was, right in front of me and at 75% off. Who could argue?

I also purchased an aquamarine and diamond ring. I usually am not really partial to bling but a ring like it was stolen from me by a good friend years ago. No matter how hard I tried, I simply could not let go of that bad memory. In fact, I was so sick of remembering the loss that I bought the ring just to shut myself up. When I put it on my finger I realized that ,yes, a peace of mind could be purchased. I was finally free of thinking of my friend as a thief.

That night I prayed; Dear God, thanks for teaching me how to turn bad memories into good please help me make the most of this new discovery.
