SUNDAY FUNDAY got me feening for Barbecue. It’s FREEEEEZING outside today, but Ubereats has a few great BOGO deals. Once I get past paying almost 50 bucks for my Sunday meal, I submit my order. During a call with my best mate an “unknown” call buzzed in. It was Justin from the bar-b-que joint calling to inform me that they have NONE of the ingredients/items for my order and I would have to cancel. Just like that. After I hung up, I was thinking to myself, NOTHING!? You got NOTHING!?

After grumbling to my best, I called customer service to cancel the order. There’s no charge to my credit card and the order was cancelled.

After fully decompressing from the high anticipation of football plus + que… I stayed on track with the same good type and order soul food. Surprisingly, I discovered one of my favorite local spots offered delivery, and it was a wrap for me. 🤞🏾

[Until]

My order finally arrived and it’s wrong. I ordered a Whiting Fish Dinner, but received Turkey Wings that were incredibly tasty by the way, but still not what I ordered. Through the app I reported the mistake and was issued a refund + extra bucks for the inconvenience. After an hour or so, finally I’m enjoying my FREE meal and what initially struck me as an annoyance was simple the universe looking but allowing a mishap to manifest as a blessing.

It’s the simple things in life that are the moments of highest gratitude.
