A Glimmer

I actually had a glimmer today. Of a future. And maybe the contentment I once had. I was at work and a customer came by to show my boss his new Harley Davidson Road King he purchased about a week ago. I was the one who changed his policy and sent him his proofs. So I walked outside with him and my boss and told him what a beautiful bike it was and exclaimed over this & that. They went inside in the back office and I got ready to leave. My boss has a prayer with me each morning before we start work and each afternoon before I leave. It was my turn to pray so I did. As I walked out the door I could hear them talking about guns and I looked at his bike sitting in the parking lot. The little bench by our door. The flowers planted in the flower boxes. The little town that surrounds my work. And I actually had a fleeting thought of myself, older, sitting with clients I know. Chatting about this or that. I was actually grateful for the little town I am blessed to live in and work in. Although the feeling was fleeting, it was nice while it lasted.
