I was picking up my wife at the mechanic shop. She was putting her car in for an oil change. As I sat in the car waiting, I imagined her standing at a counter spelling out her last name. The last name she now has, since marrying me.
It is not an easy name for people to grasp. I've spent my whole life spelling it out for people. I wondered how my wife felt about that challenge. Does she get annoyed at the inconvenience? Does she patiently help the enquirer to overcome their inability?
It made me think about what having that name had made me become. I have spent a lifetime patiently spelling it out for people. I could have chosen to become annoyed at people. I could have chosen to be disdainful, snappy or rude. I didn't though. A lifetime of spelling out a difficult name and helping to bridge a communication problem. What did that make me? What will it make my wife?
Sometimes sitting in the car is not as simple as it might seem! It can bring forth some magical musings.

My last name was a source of much mocking and heckling as a kid. As an adult, it became a LOT cooler, and I started leaning into it. It's all about perspective. :)

It certainly is about perspective. We frame our life, whether consciously or subconsciously. Better to be conscious I think.

so cute @seablue you think like that.@seablue sometimes things we face might be annoying and irritating for us like i don't know what's your name but when you spell your name in front of almost everyone. you are thinking like that because you are putting yourself in place of your wife but it's not necessary that your wife get annoyed or irritate when she spelled her last name maybe she loved it because she got it from you 😍😇😍😇
