I was wearing a dress (On Brand) on a summer day. In fact, it’s my favorite one. Additionally, I was riding my bike around town (On Brand) enjoying the weather and the scenery. I pulled off onto the sidewalk so I could take a picture of a gorgeous flower (On Brand).
When I got up to go, the wrap-around-tie of my dress became untied, and once I began to pedal, it became caught in the chain of the bike. I stopped, literally tied to my bike. And then I spent some time trying to untangle this tie, and myself, from my own bike. It felt equal parts silly and frustrating, because I was having no luck with this task.
A person was walking down the street, and I asked if he could help me. A bit embarrassing, but I had a feeling he would be willing, and I thought it might be fun to give us both a story (On Brand). It took us a while but then together, it worked!
Once I was riding down the street again, I found myself thinking about how lovely it is to have help and a sense of neighborliness (On Brand) and I thought I would blog about it (On Brand).
So I did. 🙂
Has anything very On Brand happened to you lately?
