Adversity

Locked myself out of the car Sunday. Went to lunch. Knew right where the keys were, In the trunk. Which I remembered just as I was slamming the lid. The spare set, in the trunk as well. No reason to all knoted up, it was in a secure area. Wasn't gonna get towed and not ticketed as well. Why the "What the Hell"Attitude?

I'm not on final/takeoff and lost an engine. I don't have a unit in contact and no commo. I'm not rolling on a reported dwelling fire with Entrapment. Seriously in a scale of one to ten with Ten being the end of time as we know it. It didn't even register. So when the Car don't start, the kid left you on empty when he/she returned the wheels, The boss just dumped a no notice tomorrow suspense on you, keep it in mind that the shit could be lot worse.

You are what you do when it counts. Now go handle it.


That is all.

  1. Excellent point and good perspective... Hanging over my desk is the following:

    Nobody is shooting at me.

    No decision I make today will send people into harms way.

    There is always tomorrow.

    I've been on the other side of all three...

  2. I wore the Citadel sweatshirt you gave me to Physical Therapyy and kicked butt. (Well as much butt kicking as a middle aged redhead with a bum knee can do). She told me this is my last week, keep working out, but no more PT.

    Hang in there.
