Lucy Nemetz - A Tiny White Spot On A White Spotted Carpet.
Lucy Nemetz had had a bad day and was not feeling happy. And, her not feeling happy had started early that morning. Lucy's alarm had failed to go off. No time for breakfast and running all day to catch up. And, then, coming home at four, Lucy was tired and exhausted. But, Lucy's bad day was set to continue. All of a sudden, Lucy's left hearing aid was no longer where it should be. It had gone. Vanished. An expensive end to a miserable day!
Desperately, Lucy and her husband looked everywhere. Behind the cushions, under the cushions, under the couch, behind the couch, by the TV, and everywhere else they could think of. But nothing. Lucy's very expensive fine hearing aid had gone from the face of the earth. Lucy was not only unhappy, but angry as well. But, then, something happened to Lucy. She stood perfectly still. She smiled. She had thought of her Guardian Angel.
Lucy closed her eyes, and, for the first time that day, she was at peace with herself. And, then, when she thought the moment was right, opened her eyes and looked down. Her hearing aid was by her left foot. A tiny white spot on a white spotted carpet. Lucy was happy. Her Guardian Angel had saved her again.
And, Walter, Lucy's husband, was also an Angel. He made Lucy a cold chicken sandwich and a nice cup of hot tea. A very nice end of a very bad day.
