Typically I am a go-with-the-flow kind of gal -- but today I had a schedule in mind and wanted to stick to it to accomplish an overwhelming to do list. Life had other plans however, and the day didn't unfold the way I had intended with its share of setbacks and coinciding frustrations.
I cried rivers.
The forces messing with my daily agenda again intervened at my rush of emotion, as if to suggest that I should, "keep things in perspective." That urging came in the form of an elderly woman who was driving on the wrong side of a major road in my home town, the same one I happened to be on, running an unexpected but necessary errand. I quickly and repeatedly blinked and every time my eyes saw the front of that car and my brain processed "Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!" Thankfully I was able to move lanes while this woman ended up pulling her car into a repair shop, a few hundred feet from my vehicle.
Dumbfounded, starring blankly at the road ahead I thought, did that just happen? The sight most certainly had a way of drying up the rivers. At least my less-than-ideal day, didn't involve a head on collision; it can always be worse and there is always something to be grateful for...so long as I can get my mind in a place to recognize it.
