The New Year’s Resolution That Changed My Life!
Bette stared out the window knowing if she didn’t make some changes now she wouldn’t last five more years with one gallery, let alone succeed in opening up the second gallery she had just started d awing up plans for.
Closing her eyes and taking one more deep breath she made a New Year’s resolution to find a way each and every day, whether big or small, that would help her de-stress.
She opened her eyes and smiled knowing exactly how she was going to do that today. Grabbing her keys and purse she headed for the door.
“I’m going to be out for about an hour,” Bette said to James as she walked by. “Oh…” She stopped and smiled at him. “Could you do me a favor? If I’m going to spend my days in high heels, there’s no reason why when sitting behind that desk I shouldn’t be able to curl my toes in a deep, soft carpet! Find the plushest you can, will you?”
James laughed at the wink that followed Bette’s request. “Sure, I’ll do some research online while you’re gone.”
“Thanks,” Bette waved as she left the gallery, feeling a little bit of joy seeping back in her pores.
Behind the wheel of her car, with the top down and her sun glasses firmly in place she headed toward the small neighborhood park close to her house in West Hollywood. She loved that the park was small enough to feel intimate, but big enough to stroll quietly, grab an ice cream cone, or watch the children play…whichever suited you at that moment.
A blaring horn jerked Bette out of her thoughts as a Porsche roared up behind her on the two lane road.
Tightening her hands on the wheel Bette looked at her speed to see that she was already driving five miles an hour over the speed limit, and with the twists and turns in the road ahead didn’t feel comfortable going any faster.
Again the horn blared behind her, the Porsche’s driver now driving so close to her bumper that if Bette let up on the gas pedal even a little bit the two cars would collide. “Fuck!!!” She shouted, frustrated and a
bit scared by the predicament the reckless driver was putting them both in.
