Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I walked with one friend this morning, then had lunch with another. I was outside a lot, and it felt great. The weather was hot, but not humid. My lunch friend and I went to two thrift stores after we ate outside, and I got two children's books, little metal trains (Thomas variety), two stuffed animal birds, a 60 piece puzzle showing Snow White, and other essential purchases. I picked out two bracelets and a pair of earrings for my granddaughter, and even a bag and two sweaters for me. All for the price of one of the sweaters. It was like treasure hunting, an activity my four year old grandson loves to play. I guess I must be part pirate myself. I love used things. They have history and connect me with others. I've really missed bargain hunting, and it's good to feel safe enough to venture out a bit again.
