Undaunted Joy #38

Choosing Joy When You Meet Frustration.

I am writing on the train to Totnes. Back at home, this is one of the moments I daydreamed about, typing away as English countryside whizzes past the windows. As I began my work, the train agent comes for my ticket and tells me that I am on the wrong train. It is going to Totnes but it is the wrong time for my ticket. I am unsure how that happened as I purchased it right before I boarded but the difference will cost me 90£.  This is 1.5 times the amount of the original ticket and makes this journey with train and bus the equivalent of flying from Seattle to LA. My lodging this evening, is 35£
