Mistakes, Happy Little Accidents

Prompt: "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents." Bob Ross, The Painter

Mistakes. It is embarrassing to make mistakes. Happy little accidents. Bob Ross has a good attitude but mistakes were never happy little accidents. Well. aren't always. I learned from them and didn't make the same mistakes again. I still live that way. A happy little accident? I won an autographed book from an author who wrote Scottish romances. The email was a mistake. It was sent to me by accident. I wrote the author and she said the other person who won didn't respond, so I won the book after all. I got an autographed copy. That was a happy little accident. The Florist gave my mother a big white rose and two red roses instead of a big, red rose and two white ones. Mom liked it so well that I ordered that corsage type for every Mother's Day instead. Another happy little accident. At work. Making a Med error. Patient behaviors that were bad. Those weren't happy little accidents in Nursing. Scrapbooking accidents. Sometimes, using flower brads instead of buttons was a happy little accident. Going shopping and buying a different color then the one you had planned like for a purse or a blouse was a happy accident. Depends on the situation whether a mistake is a happy little accident.
