What's Right With This Picture?

 Lunch at a restaurant with a friend, live and in person. A restaurant with indoor seating, no masks required for the vaccinated. OMG, After the long year of home-cooking (not much variety there), take-out (fun from time to time, not all the time), and lusting in front of Food Network re-runs, the trip to the restaurant was more than a welcome event. It was Nirvana. I couldn't help but overhear the conversation of the couple behind us. "They don't have anything I want," the woman moaned. "I thought you liked salmon," her friend replied. "Not grilled like that, it'll be all dry," the woman said. "Maybe you can ask them to poach it," her friend suggested. "Fat chance," the woman said. "And what's with the waiter?" she continued, "we've been here at least 15 minutes, and haven't seen hide nor hair of him since he plunked the water down. Which he spilled on the table, by the way - look at that!" No doubt the woman was correct, mostly anyway. But what a way to nuke an otherwise perfectly good experience! Instead of which, she could have simply focused on "What's right with this picture?" It may not have changed the facts: perhaps the restaurant wouldn't have prepared her salmon differently, and the waiter hadn't been to their table in 15 minutes, but it certainly would have changed the woman's experience of the facts. Let's see. It was a restaurant, so no food-prep to do or dishes to wash. There was an extensive menu, so lots of choices beyond the salmon. There was a person willing to wait on them. The couple was seated, together, indoors, without masks, which means... they could have enjoyed conversing with each other. They could have appreciated the simple fact of getting to be out in the world again, considering our past pandemic year. So much was "right" with their picture.
