HELP NEEDED IN ISLE SEVEN!!!

We are into Spring weather here in Texas and that means One thing~~~people are rushing to local "Big Box Stores" that are suddenly filled with endless blooming plants, tall grasses blowing gently in the wind, planting pots in every color possible~~~in simple terms," An Adult's Weekend Candy Store" and here I stood-soaking it all in when my attention fell on a Swing~~~looking like it had my name on it!!

I grabbed  a set of cushions,and plopped down on the Swing~~~swaying back and forth, being reminded what it feels like to relax and let all the worries go.  My phone rang~~~time to leave the Swing and go find my husband-sounded easy,until I made my first move to stand up and leave.

For too many reasons to list~~my worn body refused to follow  normal moves and instead of being able to make a graceful move  from the Swing~~~I kept falling right back where I had been siting-now my eyes were sweeping Isle Seven for anybody to help  pull me  from my current mess-it felt as if this huge store had silently rushed people out, locking doors~~~leaving the Swing and me to finish out Martha's Escape from the Swing!

I had enough of this awkward  situation-so I  grabbed a bar on the Swing, pushed  back hard  with my feet,and let go--praying I would fly out of this Swing without breaking any bones!   God was there, and suddenly I was free from the Swing,standing solid on both feet~~~as a young lady, dressed in official Store attire smiled and asked me "Do you need anything here in ISLE SEVEN?"

"No-I was  just browsing"  thinking silently if anybody had been watching, they just saw Store Browsing  taken to a strange new level.  The sales clerk was young, pretty and suddenly let me know
she needed HELP and it was in the Garden Section!  She started telling me about being hired, but not having any training about plants, mulch,etc--- and people were starting to get angry!   I looked at her
and thought back to  how it felt to  be on a new job, and  I decided to jump in~~~"Well, remember these few ideas and maybe it will  help. Tell them to purchase Texas Native Plants--people will listen~~you have a caring attitude and lets be honest, you  are very pretty!"

She grabbed  me and hugged me as if I had given her a  lifeline~~~~as I walked away, praying  my Neck would  not start throbbing from her hug---I thought "Remember to stay clear of  ISLE SEVEN!"

Thanks for letting me share.............. martha
