Rewrites

Walking into the store and immediately spying the red box of chubby, fruit filled, pre-Lenten treats made my breath catch in my throat and I clumsily maneuvered my cart in the opposite direction of the display. I cursed under my breath and admonished myself for my extremely dorky ways.

A few days later, same store, same chubby treats, same display and a wee giggle escaped from me upon seeing those ethnic goodies that I knew nothing about a few years ago, that seemed so connected to it all a few days ago but this day I giggled because this day I know what I know and love how average, ordinary articles of life can make me feel so alive and grateful and so pleasantly me.
