I thought

I thought the day would be cloudy and breezy with occasional showers. It started out with this promise and ended up hot and humid .
I thought you would ping me today , but you didn’t and in vain I spent hours scanning my junk mail and spam inboxes.
I thought today , at the auspicious time of 1515hrs they will announce the lottery winners and I will find my number there, but I guess the ecstasy will have to wait.
I thought the day will go according to plans and there won’t be glitches, traffic jams and irritating neighbours , but my neighbour’s maid threw their waste water onto my lawn for the umpteenth time , and her dog dug up my petunias.
I thought that the day was ruined , as the lawn was flooded with murky water and petunias all dug up, no rain or prizes, but I was rewarded when my child returned from the school with an A+ on her dance file , a skip in her step, and laughter playing on her lips -“What are you standing in the mucky lawn for ?Who dug up the petunias ?” She asked and burst into laughter , I joined her and dismissed the minor travails of life with a swish of the magic wand of mirth,the sun shone bright and clouds dispelled.
