I noticed a commotion in the line next to the one I was in. "That's not what I ordered!!!" a woman asserted loudly referring to a drink. A manager behind the counter politely asked, "Ma'am, what did you order." The woman repeated what she had ordered. "Ma'am, that's what this is," assured the manager. "IT IS NOT," shouted the customer. "That's a large. I ordered a medium." "We gave you a free 'upgrade' to a large." "That's not what I ordered! I ordered a medium!!!" shouted the woman as she stormed out of line.
It's all perspective. Gift from the Universe or not paying attention to what I ordered?
I would have taken the large and walked out with a smile on my face thinking the Universes gave me a gift. I know because I've done it before. This woman rejected what I would have interpreted as a gift because what she received didn't exactly match the words that came out of her mouth (ie "large" vs. "medium").
Knowing we're all the same caused me to reflect on gifts the Universe gave me that I might have rejected because it wasn't EXACTLY what I ordered. How many upgrades have I refused?
