I’m trying something new – Sunday Scribblings
One day my destination was a movie theatre.
I got upset because they tried to charge me some outrageous price for a soda.
So I made the nearest deli my next destination, and on the way passed a company with a help wanted sign.
And I went in, and got a the secretarial job.
Within two months I was the company sales person.
I stayed for six years.
One day a friend invited me to learn about meditation.
And I kept going back again and again.
When my father died shortly thereafter I had something to help me get through it.
One day my destination was the book store.
One the way I passed a new Gateway store, and walked inside.
Just to look around.
I left with a new computer.
My daughter went into a Christian chat room.
She met the man she has been happily married to for two and a half years.
One day my destination was an estimate.
We had just switched over from Polaroids to the then new digital camera.
I took a couple of pictures of street scenes, and posted them to my blog.
Later I found some positive comments.
And I haven’t stopped taking pictures since.
Today my destination is the Upper East Side for an early dinner & shopping.
I wonder what will happen?
Have a Joyous, Prosperous & Wonderous New Year
Happy New Year

Welcome. This is my first prompt as well. I very much enjoyed your destinations as being the beginnings rather the ends.
Hope you have/had a wonderful destination this evening.
