Today turned out to be a very, very long, LONG, and frustratingly bad flying day!!!! Delays, less than helpful airline employees, crowds, and more delays all combined to become a real test of our patience. When we finally settled into our room, it was about 1:30 am tomorrow, after beginning at 6:30 am today. I know the trip will be worth all the hassle of today, but the sooner I can forget these last hours, the better.
Yet, there was some humor in the airport. A gate agent made a call for someone to come to the counter and a man behind us happened to stretch at the same moment, raising his hands high into the air. The agent, over the microphone, said, “Is that you, sir?” No, he said, I’m just stretching, and then under his breath said, wow, that’s embarrassing. Out of my mouth popped, “Good thing you aren’t at an auction. I think you would have just bought something,” to which we all had a good chuckle.
So thanks to the airline employee for giving us something to smile about. And thank you, God, for ultimately having a safe trip.
Blessings.
