Surrendering to the Universe

I had a random job today to be a chaperone for a highschool group from Houston. We were going to Alcatraz. I have been seriously traumatized going to Camp Gan Israel when I was 6, and I was told if we didn't behave they would lock us in the room with padding and no light. I didn't really want to go, ok, fun to be a tourist, but I'd rather be at the farmers market hanging with people shopping for kale. It worked out that they didn't have a ticket for me, so they paid me for my time, and I got to go to the market and see friends. I like that. Getting ready for shabbos with butterfish, parsley dip, carrots.
