Gratitude

Past life strikes again! Switching insurance coverage means means (in my case) resuming care with a provider from my first marriage. (Oh yeah, I got married since I last posted!) I arrived to my appointment to find a "mix up" with my last name. Mmhmm. Customer service dude did not mention this when he scheduled my appointment over the phone. The receptionist took a few sentences to clarify why my name had changed.

"Is that how you pronounce it?... Is this name correct?... Did you get married?... "

"Divorced."

"Oh!" Comfortable giggle. "I've been twice. Not so bad, huh?"

I was relieved by her ease with the topic. That was a first. I need to mail her a thank you card. She did warn me that that "paperwork" along my general care journey today might reflect the "old name." Indeed it did and I had to explain a few more times.

I suppose I can find the gratitude. I am grateful for the reminder of my awesome decision to get divorced.
