8/11: being fine

...with a noisy cart in the grocery store.  Over the past handful of years, I've been weirdly grateful for jangling or otherwise loud carts.  The me of longer ago would get embarrassed by such carts; the more recent me thinks, "This cart's noise is not my fault; there is no shame attached.  It's fine if the store's equipment makes noise in the store, and I need to focus on my shopping not on other people's possible reactions."
