All Posi, All the Time

We spent the morning trying to figure out what constitutes credit card fraud. Joel was worrying that he may have been a conspirator. He was left with a bad taste in his mouth over a transaction. Things could eat Joel up, really get his mind going.

Yesterday I figured out all of the types I gave to Joel were off, and all of the types he gave to me were off. Like "you seem like the kind of person that does this", to which he responds, "no, that is not me at all."

Kate and I split a buttered bagel and it reminded me of school bagels and how they were fried in butter and tasted like no other bagel. Alden came through my line. She reminds me of Tom Dewing in her subtle gestures. Yesterday I told Ben he also reminded me of Tom Dewing. Heather and I spotted it in his smile, though Heather had only met Tom once. I asked Ben how he spent his last Wednesday but it came out "what was your tradeoff?" with scale weighing hands. He said he was mourning for his grandmother, another speckle towards the Tom Dewing comparison. I often feel turned away by similarities. Stuart reminds me of Greg. TD2 reminds me of TD1. But not this time. Ben is rad.

Kate and I decided to be all posi all the time. When I first met Kate I discovered she was also a storyteller. Something her mom said that she is applying.....What's the good worrying? Does the bee worry about where it will get its honey? Does the bird worry about where it will find its seed?

I think I was already practicing though. I am in loving again. I am capable of crushing again. I did jumping jacks in the break room and asked, "Does this count? Does this count?"
