Can Magic Bits... Sooth a Sad Soul...?

It was a crisp morning, ideal for skating but they'd closed the rink and hadn't shovelled the snow. That tall pine tree, anchored in the center of the ice, twinkled brightly as I walked by.

After my walk, I popped into my usual place to purchase random groceries. They have those crowd control belts, and single-file lines set up... AGAIN. What a pain! I waited - bored - and glanced at the elderly lady behind me. She was dressed in a prim fashion and I'd guess, in her eighties?

She was holding onto one of those monstrous yellow carts, pushing along - a beautiful Poinsettia in a red-bowed pot, a couple of small tins of cat food, and a large box of Alpha-Bits. You know me, so I remarked about her eclectic choices.

I imagine she'd wanted to talk to someone, and my comment provided that invitation. The cereal was for her granddaughter who was coming over; they've closed all the schools here. And THAT'S what she likes for breakfast. She'd hope it would cheer her up.

She paused - I asked the obvious question.

She took a breath. Today was to be the last day of classes for Grade Two children before the holidays. They were supposed to have a 'Secret Santa' gift exchange and her granddaughter had chosen the name of the boy in her class - whom she liked the MOST.

Her excited grandchild and mom - of course - had spent a great deal of time choosing the perfect gift. And the little girl could hardly wait to see that special boy's face when he opened up the present she'd wrapped for him. All her friends had been trying to guess who the gifts piled up at the back of the room were from.

Well, THAT wasn't going to happen. I agreed it was very sad for all those small kids especially during the Holiday Season.

They beeped cash number five, I said goodbye and made my way forward. Politely, I turned my head to wish my brief companion a Merry Christmas. When I did, I noticed she was crying, wiping tears from her eyes. She tried to say something to me... but all she did was nod.

Yep... Alpha-Bits.


Tis the season...


I remember that Secret Santa stuff back then. We'd try and trade names.
I.m more of a Cheerios guy. You?

I'm a Cheerios person myself. But once in a while, I'll treat myself to some Lucky 🍀 Charms.

Merry Christmas to you too. It's strange how such a joyous season can be such a sad time as well.

You're right.
I understand where you're coming from.

I close my eyes, when I see things that blurr my vision.
It's all good. Have a merry Christmas. ❗🤶🎅🌹😎❗❗

I tear up often, empathizing with the sadness of others. *sniffle* I'll probably be like that old lady someday.

I like Cheerios, too. They come in several yummy flavors. Have you tried Maple Cheerios?

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!


Paulxx001 replies on 23/12/2021 10h45:
I understand that you mean.
I sat on a bench,in Fairview Mall, on the second floor, and posted this thing.

Empaths... know. 🌹🎅

Hopefully it was tears of Joy or happiness! Strangers feel like they can talk to do, you have a gift of kindness.


Paulxx001 replies on 23/12/2021 10h48:
My guess is tears of sadness? 🤔
But that's not bad, is it?
Thanks for sharing... your POV.

Alpha-Bits aren't sold here but Cheerios are. My favourite breakfast cereals are Rice Krispies, Shreddies and Weetabix.


Paulxx001 replies on 24/12/2021 6h45:
Those three are on my favorites list as well. 👍 😊
What do you mean, they're not sold there? Ya gotta start a petition.

Although, I'm thinking there are probably other things that top lists of importance over on your island 🏝

Enjoy the holidays and be safe. 🎁🎅🤶🐫❄️🥣🎄

Speaking to strangers is not comfortable for everyone. However, you are at ease doing so and have a knack for engaging people of all ages. This time of year can be especially difficult. The ongoing pandemic and surging cases are forcing many to forgo their usual traditions. Here's to better times ahead for everyone. Merry Christmas and may peace surround you and your loved ones.


Paulxx001 replies on 24/12/2021 6h42:
The secret of speaking with people you don't know, is to share something about yourself FIRST. Then, most will open up to you. 🌹

And all the best to you and your family 👪. 🎁🎅🎄🤶🐫
Cheers 🥂 😎 ❗ ❗

Watch out for ice! ❄️❗

The only "cereal" I eat are whole grain oats and they taste like rice when I make them.


Paulxx001 replies on 24/12/2021 6h38:
lol 😂
Rice 🍚, huh?
Enjoy your Christmas celebrations. Ya mind if I send you some of our white stuff? 🤔
We've got plenty to spare. 🎅🎄😎❗❗

You're probably right and that little girl might still get to see that boy's smile.
I think her granny was netting emotional by remembering all the times she went through with her kids 🧒
Have a great and safe holiday season. 🐫❗🎁🤶🎄🎅😎❗❗

i don't tend to chat up strangers in the store.
y'ah know you're always reading about THE place to meet is the store.
you're there! why not!

i have NEVER had a guy or gal start up a chat with me in the grocery store.
now i have had a guy chat me up at the WalMarTT but he wasn't my type.
he followed me out to my car!
EEEKKSS!!
gave me his business card.
offered me dinner...
I WASN'T INTERESTED!!

yeah.
i am clueless.
who knows who else has been trying to get me to slow down in the soda aisle.

i go through rounds with cereal.
i am not eating any right now.
when i do i stock something kinda healthy and something sweet.
so like i have a wheat chex along with captain crunch.
i think i have some cinnamon toast crunch and rice crispies for Sherman.

alphabits are a bit like cardboard to me.


Paulxx001 replies on 29/12/2021 12h16:
Your cereal selection is like mine; a mix of sweet and healthy.

No one EVER talks to you? 🤔

Grocery stores are where the action is and where people linger by the fruits 🥝 and other complex food items. And if I ask a woman for help, her opinion or advice — guess what? She usually comes through. It's too easy. lol 😂

But that's not to say that it goes anywhere. I get a thrill when I can crack her up and leave her smiling, wondering 'Now who the fuck was that?'

It helps if the gentlemen have an engaging personality, a quick wit, and a sense of humour. Perhaps, the men you come across are intimidated by you and how you carry yourself. 😶

Women are funny creatures - wary of any male in public - and men... don't understand them. They assault those poor women and come across as way too agressive.

Women want to be entertained. How much effort and skill does it take to be charming?😎❗❗
