Dear Humans,

When I go to the grocery store, I always get the cart with the bad wheel. Dozens of carts nestled together and waiting, and I pick the cart that buzzes, screeches, and takes all of my strength to wheel around the corner.

Or at least it seems that way. What really happens is that I only remember the times when I have  the bad wheel. When I’m rolling smooth on all four wheels–which is most shopping trips–I just don’t think about it.

So now I’m trying to appreciate the mundane moments when things go well–when my car starts right up, when my commute is quick, and when my shopping cart rolls smoothly.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
