Thursday stretched on too. Another long queue, another slow merge, another test of my inner world.
But this time, “moron” and “idiot” didn’t show up. Instead, I found myself saying, simply:

“Why?”
And honestly? I was pleased as punch with that one.
It wasn’t serenity, but it was progress.
A shift in vocabulary is a shift in posture. A softened word is a softened heart. A gentler reaction is a sign of something being rewired beneath the surface.
Paul would smile at that , the slow, steady transformation that doesn’t announce itself with trumpets but with a single, quieter word.
