I still have that nasty taste in my mouth. 

Several days later, I was in Publix again, and the bugs were still in
operational mode. Everywhere I went, there was some bug. 

I swatted myself several times, and fortunately, there was no blood. But
I did get a few bugs that will not be bugging me ever again. 

Walking around the store, I tried avoiding the bugs as much as possible.
When finished, I went to the cashier to pay for my products. 

As I was standing there, all of a sudden, somebody slapped me on the
back. 

I turned around, looked, and a guy said, “I did you a favor. There was a
bug crawling up your back, and I killed it for you.” 

Looking at him, I said, “My body, my swat.” 

Very soberly, I apologized, and I just laughed and said, “That's okay.
That's one down and a zillion more to go.” 

We both laughed a little, and I checked out and went to my car. 

As I was driving home I happen to think of a verse in the Old Testament.
“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our 
vines have tender grapes” (Song of Solomon 2:15). 

That got me thinking of those little bugs that were creating such havoc
in my life. It's the little things that you don't think of at the time 
that do all the damage. My focus usually is on the “big” things in my 
life, which allows those “little” things to do most of the damage.
