A better place

The world is full of magic portals and my job, if I choose to accept it, is to find them all!

I didn't know this long ago.  I thought things just happened.  I had no idea I was supposed to make them happen.  That life is an adventure and the more I believe in it, the better it is.

It is less about luck than finesse.

I have discovered a new portal here at this apartment.

I put not so gently used things at the curb, right in the middle of the walkway on the boulevard by the street and turn around.  When I reach the house, I go inside and look back for the first time.  Whatever I put there is gone!  No longer a problem for me at all!

The first thing I ever put there was the spider's home.  He lived in my microwave for at least three weeks.  Since he lived between the glass in the door I thought maybe he was proof that no radiation was leaking out cause if it was he'd be dead (or mutated.)  Eventually I couldn't live with him so I put him out at the curb, walked inside and turned around to find him gone!

Later I took out the elliptical machine.  It required more enthusiasm than I was ever really able to muster and since I put it together myself I was afraid to sell it for fear of liability.  Whoosh, just like the microwave, it was gone before I looked out the inside window.

Last night I put out the sweeper with the cracked case and the coffee pot without the carafe.  This time I looked as soon as I got to the door.  Already gone! 

I have no idea where they go.  I just assume it is to a better place.

And my place is better for it!
