While I was working today, a customer made some remark about a sale going on at one of my sister's favorite stores so I decided to see if there was anything there she'd like for Christmas. I should also say that my relationship with my sister has improved, but can still be a bit strained at times. Long story short, I bought my sister a tea pot and a bunch of tea leaves/mixtures. I'm not a big fan of tea, but I wouldn't be opposed trying some of the kinds I bought. What's funny is that since the first time I went in that store, there was this tea pot I've had my eye on, but could never justify buying it because it was so expensive and, like previously stated, I don't like tea. Now that particular store is closing and the pot was half off so I bought it. I just had this moment where I felt everything came full circle and how much my life had changed since I first saw that tea pot. It sounds silly putting it into writing, but that's the feeling I got.
Either way, the major Christmas shopping is out of the way and now I only have to worry gifts for a few friends, but the pressure is off. Now, I'm just praying for the future and trying to prepare for what comes with it.
