Making It In America

Waking up early is not my idea of a good time, but it happens!  This morning we took off and headed for Staples to see if they had any good deals (okay, early for me wasn’t the same as opening for them).  In a matter of minutes we found everything we need.  We stood in line for quite awhile but the line still moved quickly considering the huge number of people there.  Because we hurried so much, we didn’t get a cart.  The man in front of me took the things out of the front of his cart and offered the space for my things quipping, “Now, I won’t pay for them, but you can put them there.”  We had a friendly chat while we slowly made our way to the front via the snake-line we were in.  The conversations around us  were polite, no complaining, no anger.  The help was great and we left the store thinking that Black Friday wasn’t so black after all.  It shone downright brightly!
