Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Yesterday I went to see my granddaughter in a musical "Aristocrats".  It was a pretty adorable show, that is if you are a parent or friend.  While we were waiting for the show to begin, I couldn't figure out how to get my phone to silent, and the woman next to me not only showed me how to do that, but a bunch of other things as well.  I now know how to move photos from the texting section to the photos saved, and how to put my phone on vibrate!  I know, I'm an idiot.  I got the gift of a mini tutorial, and her kindness really made the event seem like a holiday special. 

I talked a bit with my granddaughter's grandfather, just out from New York, and said to him, "Next stop, Broadway".  He responded, "It's already off Broadway".  "Yeah, way, way off," I chortled.
A good time was had by all.

I sat there thinking it was not that long ago I was a young parent in the audience for my kids, and also I wish I lived closer to my other granddaughter, because I'm missing all her achievements, and I'd so love to be there.  But just for a moment, I imagined myself in the audience for her piano recital and school festivities.  I am with her in spirit, and love travels far.
